Unfortunately I don't think a modern MRI couldactually be performed, from information I've seen - some elctrode type thingies she had embedded in her brain in the early 90s... I could be wrong, But I think that is actually why one hasn't been done.

it could have easily been removed so that she could have had the MRI.

As I understand the MRI could be performed if the electrodes were removed. There is also another test (PET Scan) that hasn't been done and still others that could be re-administered as a final confirmation of her status. I just really don't understand why they aren't done as a matter of course...they were when I faced similar decisions in my family.

That was the intent - put that thing in her brain so no MRI could be done.

However, that electrode was to have been taken out after one year. Think how no MRI was done BEFORE that electrode was inserted. To me, that is very revealing.

Talk about pre-meditated murder. Step by step...

True. When she was taken to California for expiramental treatment, they embedded some kind of chip or something in her brain to measure her brain function. Unfortunately, an MRI is useless because of this. However, the best instrument would probably be a CAT or PET SCAN. I may be wrong of course. According to the CAT Scan that was given her, most of her brain has been replaced by spinal fluid.

re: some elctrode type thingies

Placed there in hopes of speeding her rehab but when all attempts at rehab were dropped her husband wouldn't allow them to remove the no longer functioning electrode type thingies. Just another example of his moving to cover his tracks. He probably knew full well that as long as he prevented them from removing the hardware that he was safe from having her examined by a modern MRI, an examination that could only be feared if one felt it might be detrimental to his position in the case. There are no words to describe the evil that is in the heart of this man.
