"The poor woman has no brain left. It is GONE."
If her brain is gone, why does she speak? And she not only speaks, but she answers yes/no questions. She smiles at people, she tells when she is in pain, she moves her head in response to who is speaking and where they are standing. This in not evidence of someone who's brain is gone.
