The relationship between consciousness (i.e., the soul of the person) and electrical brain activity is not something written in stone in some medical lab somewhere. That is what made my grandfather's love so great, and the Schivo case and others like it so tragic.

"Sarah, what's 9/11?" her father asks. She responds, "Bad
fire
airplanes
building
hurt people." That about covers it.
Amazing.

Amen to that. Terri will not be forgotten. Hopefully Sarah will help shed light on the coma experience, in as much as it varies between patients. So that we don't have anymore Terris starved to death.
To: rwfromkansas
I hope and pray that there will be more stories like this coming out to show the world that people in Coma's and in PVS are not dead yet and they are aware of their surroundings. This just proves to me what i have thought all along, that Terri Schiavo knew exactly what was happening to her when she was starved and dehydrated to death and felt it all as well.

It really is. And there is so much to be learned from Sarah to help coma patients. Hopefully that will mean no more Terris starved to death. See #48. Now, comes the plight of Leslie Burke. Hopefully, Sarah's experience in coma will lead to a more compassionate situation for Mr. Burke. Even though his condition will eventually result in death, there's no reason to treat him inhumanely and new reasons to treat him more humanely. I hope the socialized medical system in the UK recognizes that before he is left to die in agony.

If you're brain dead your heart won't beat and you likely won't be breathing on your own. Case in point, Susan Torres.

As long as you're not standing over them talking about their imminent death and how much you stand to inherit!You must know my great aunt. We've had 2 recent deaths in the family and man, as if she didn't have enough already, she was right there with her hand out looking for more. The woman is in her late 80s. You'd think she'd realize she can't take it with her.

If you're brain dead your heart won't beat Uh, no. The heart can even beat when completely removed from the body.
