Not the same situation at all. Sarah didn't have a damaged stem cell.

That doesn't make any sense at all. Perhaps you need to catch another tv program or something.

Layman's explanation from Reuters:
Brain scans that were part of the state court record showed the part of her brain that controls thought and voluntary movement had atrophied and filled with spinal fluid after the heart attack deprived it of oxygen.

The brain stem, which controls involuntary movement such as breathing and blinking, remains.

Terri's brain cortex is gone or almost gone. Her brain stem remains.
