Here is a scan of a person who had half their brain removed. They seem to do just fine. It's called a hemispherectomy and is performed for epilepsy.

She also couldn't swallow. All the hype about nurses feeding her, about her responding to stimuli and following balloons with her eyes, were just that: HYPE.
The truth is most of you don't care what was wrong with her, you think it was wrong to pull her feeding tube even if that was what she wanted. If she had left a written will with those wishes you would still call it murder. This is your opinion and you are entitled to it and to state here on this forum and others, but state it truthfully please. Don't lie about the autopsy. It shows what Mike had said all along, Terri was in PVS plus she was blind. She was not aware of her suroundings, she did not say I WAAAAAA as her parents lawyer tried to claim. She had been dead for all intents and purposes for 15 years and she deserved to finally be put to rest.
Don't lie about the autopsy, read it from end to end. I did, and I saw the truth.
I know some of you will blast me here and call me a "member of the cult of death". I am pro-life, I hate and abhor abortions, but I also hate to see people suffer needlessly. If you really cared for Terri, you would be glad she has moved on, however you don't care for Terri, you care about being right and about keeping anyone alive no matter how awful their condition. Flame away.
I'm sure there are plenty of people with shriveled/granulated brains that only have a few surviving neurons who are awake, coherent and "home". Of course, I've never encountered any of them....would you care to name a few for us?
