"I'm scared to death I might see you outside mine."

Probably not. I support the judges' decision in this case. PVS is not the same thing as brain dead. Brain dead is just that, NO brain activity. In PVS patients, EEG's show a high level of brain activity. BIG difference.

Not in the consciousness area. That portion of the brain IS dead.
