I just finished watching a show about a young women who came back to life after being clinically brain dead for over a month. Unfortunately there are many people who don't ever get another chance at life because their families usually pull the plug sooner than thirty days. I believe the brain is a complicated organ that still holds many secrets. Doctors shouldn't be so quick to give the family the option of pulling the plug.

Actually I saw the woman on a news broadcast. She was fully alert, totally conscious and was able to carry out an interview. I have no idea what condition her heart is in regarding walking, etc... but there was no indication during the interview that she was disabled, or anything like that...

Did you watch the video -

No sign of brain damage..."brain dead" is a new criteria that was latched upon as a way to get families to pull the plug so they could harvest the organs (BIG cash cow for hospitals) while the person is still alive - understand that - STILL ALIVE. That means the heart is still beating and the organs are still then viable.

The criteria for death used to be when the heart stops beating. But then the organs deterioate rapidly, making it harder to 'harvest' - how I hate that description.

=A Living Will will not protect from this. the will to have is a "WILL TO LIVE" =

If they know they cannotk, under any circumstances, 'harvest' you - they may spend put that time and energy into saving your life.

You think they wouldn't be this callous? We are talking about a profession that has no qualms about killing full time babies in 'partial birth abortion' - harvesting organs is a cake walk compared to that.
