>> So for anoxia to cause brainstem injury, means that since the brainstem is relatively resistant, the cortex is already damaged. To have decerebrate posturing, the midbrain is affected, but to breathe, the medulla oblongata is functioning. So there is some brainstem damage, but the “lower” part is functioning.

Wow! Whoever stopped Terri from breathing did a lot of damage to her.

And I thought you claimed to be interested in finding the truth, and not being convinced in advance? As always, please provide evidence.
