It's about Crist, but I am reminded of what happens to handicapped people in prominent families of our "leaders". I was reflecting on poor Terri as I came across this item in another thread about Mary Jo.

This is about how mildly retarded Rosemary was made into a "PVS" by the wonderful Kennedy family.

>> Does this young woman look retarded to you?

Brain dead. Nobody "in there." Flat EEG, heart attack, all the usual. A tragedy for everyone on both sides of the issue, but the patient must be put to death.

Another bioethics "hard case"

This young woman went out with a lowlife and ended up brain dead in suspicious circumstances. Hypoxia/anoxia leading to cardiorespiratory arrest. Flat EEG and all that. The coroner ruled it "accidental" so no charges were brought against her killer.

Historic rugby helmet may have prevented brain death in at least some unexplained collapses and unfortunate hunting accidents. Unfortunately, Fall River brain death victims were not wearing their helmets at the time the time they suffered their mysterious brain cessations.

Obviously, bioethicists don't want people wearing these things. Dries up their business.
