She is dead.... multiple doctors weighed in. There is NO brain stem activity.
This body is on machinery to keep the parents illusion of hope buoyed up. Why are you so invested in ignoring the truth? Why do you not find out about responses that have nothing to do with being alive. The ignorant woman in the video is so deeply in denial there is nothing that can be done to change her view point. Certainly you have a brain that functions well enough for you to understand more than she.
Apparently you have never sat at the bedside of a person ‘kept going’ by machinery and seen the deterioration..... bones break, skin sloughs away from bone, bruising leads to muscle rot, it is heart breaking to watch people put their loved ones through this defilement because they refuse to let go.
Already you can see that there is significant bruising on the extremities..they even have compression on the legs to minimize this effect (and it is not working).
That this youngster died (Alameda county had already issued a death certificate) is a tragic occurrence. The fact that the family is in compete denial is another form of a tragedy. IF they actually thought that this girl was not brain stem dead then they would remove her from the machines. They have not done this because deep down they must know she cannot ‘live’ without them.
This is not a case of a coherent person needing breathing assist (say an iron lung polio patient) nor is this a case of persistent vegetative state. This child is dead. I feel sorry for the parents but it does not change the facts

Could you illuminate some of us with your firsthand experiences in this type of thing?
That's awful. If you personally experienced it, I am very sorry.
