I never said she was. I said she was just a little bit in better shape than someone on a respirator.
Tell me when she was conclusively proven to be 'braindead'.
She was not braindead. However, all of the credible experts who examined her concluded that her higher brain had, literally, melted. We've all seen the images of her brain.
Like I said, the TS case was a little difficult because she wasn't braindamaged "enough." However, she was so close to braindead as to make no practical difference.
From your post 127: "So, in your mind, someone in a wheelchair is exactly the same as someone who is braindead and on a respirator?"
The person of subject was Terri Schindler.
So your sidestepping isn't.
Now either back it up with fact and links, or shut your trap.
Good grief.
But because only some of us have experience in the world of diagnostic imaging, only some of us realized that phrases and words like "melted" and "all cerebrospinal fluid" were bogus. She had cortex, very badly damaged cortex but here's the catch. Nobody knows how much cortex one needs to retain higher functions. And since no Pet or fMRI was ordered we'll never know if she had any activity in those remaining neurons and synapses.
