Was it a government school?

Cordially,

There is a big difference between this girl and others who have had large sections of their brain removed surgically. The brain material removed by surgery is the outer sections, I.E. the sections closer to the skull. The surgeons don't go too deep to prevent harming the patients ability to function. The outer tissue is more responsible for memory than function. Also this procedure is rarely performed on folks older than 15. Terri Schaivo's dead brain tissue was located right smack in the center of her brain. In the parts that control functions. Including sight, swallowing, speaking.... Someone once posted a CAT scan of her brain showing the central parts were merely fluid.

Please compare apples and apples and oranges to oranges.

HOWEVER!? Give it up already. Your "however" is a troll worthy of the DU board. Any moron understands that's not the same case as trauma. The surgery, of course, would be done with careful precision and designed to maintain as much function as possible while removing any tissue necessary. Terri's brain had shrunk of half-size because so much of it was dead.

Where's your LINK to evidence of this half-brain girl and her high school graduation, anyway?
