Fair enough.
Well, on second thought, maybe this part of the autopsy was not quite fair.

Comment: Brain weight is an important index of its pathologic state. Brain weight is correlated with height, weight, age and sex. The decedent's brain was grossly abnormal and weighted only 615 grams (1.35 lbs.) That weight is less than half of the expected tabular weight for a decedent of her adult age of 41 years 3 months and 28 days. By way of comparison, the brain of Karen Ann Quinlan weighed 835 grams at the time of her death, after 10 years of similar persistent vegetative state.

I think Karen Ann Quinlan was hydrated until the day she died, but I didn't see a notation recognizing that difference in the report.
I wonder what is this M.E. is going to say when he puts a brain of a hemispherectomy patient on his scales. Compare him to Terri Schiavo? : ) (No insult intended to Terri)
