What do you think of her responsive gestures and moans? Are they not a language?

They can be believed to be,,,,,,or not.

"They can be believed to be,,,,,,or not."

This is the issue. That reasonable minds might differ, and that the more reasonable minds who are closest to the situation - and many not close at all but distant witnesses - agree that she is indeed communicating. I tend to be cautious in matters of life and death - especially when the powers to adequately bargain the issue are utterly lacking in someone so disabled.

I'll post this twice, because what you wrote is beyond the comprehension of anyone I know who has seen the video and is actually paying attention to this murder in progress:

I wrote: "What do you think of her responsive gestures and moans? Are they not a language?

You (wirestripper) replied: "They can be believed to be,,,,,,or not."

And I reply again: "...to be,,,,,or not." This IS the issue.

I tend to be cautious in matters of life and death - especially when the powers to adequately bargain the issue are utterly lacking in someone so disabled.
