Clinically brain dead for over two years.

Not persistent vegetative state, but brain dead.

There's as much chance of Jahi coming back as creating a fully fledged Silica Animus today.

She's dead Jim.

For two years? Wow. Her family has had enough time to grieve.
Fuck it, she's dead. Put her in a casket.

I say it's time for taxpayers to stop footing the bill. As harsh as that sounds, it is the reality. Time for the family to let go.

So does that mean the less brain function someone has the less they deserve to live?

Brain dead = nonfunctional. Zero, zip, zilch, Nada. Re-read my post. Zero quality of life. This has been going on for over two years now with this poor girl. What kind of quality of life do you suppose she has laying there with absolutely ZERO brain activity?

They are not keeping her alive they are just keeping her body from decomposing.

Well, ok.

Why not preserve her body though, in case medicine advances and will be able to bring her back in the future?

Because then you have to extend that option to everyone, where will put all of these dead people hooked up to machines and how will we pay for it? Also right now there is no suggestion that once the brain dies that we can bring it back again.

I don't know.... seems like a lot of brain dead people are walking around.

A lot of them are seeking the republicunt nomination.

That's not brain dead. They never had a brain to begin with. You know, lack of brains at the start.
