In other words, Reese should be careful about who he calls brain dead.

Anyway most of us are on Ann Coulter's side and not Reese's. Most of us are on the Pope's side and not the Boston Globe's. Most of us are on the President's side and not MSN's. Most of us still think that there is a spiritual value to human life that goes beyond intellectual capacity.

We are our brains. The rest of our body exists to carry the brain and to obey its instructions. When the brain dies, we die, even though the rest of the body can continue to function on automatic, provided the primitive part of the brainstem still functions. Terri Schiavo, the person, died a long time ago.

This is the issue. The only issue. Those who were on Michael's side do not understand and therefore cannot accept the concept of the soul. If everything else Reese had written here were true, this would still stand out as the issue.

And because it is the soul that gives us life, because it is the soul that cannot be controlled by anyone but God, the unGodly deny its existence.

Situations like this make me more and more sure that the "story" of Adam & Eve has to be true. Man is still trying to become his maker -- and man is still failing, as he always will.
