I am not in support of the ghouls in organ donation.

I understand why they are interested in pushing the button for harvesting her for valuable parts to save others. But that’s not what I’m talking about.

She’s been on life support for a week, and in that time, I would hope that they have tested her repeatedly (daily?) for brain function.

Think of it like a PC, the CPU is fried, and it won’t pass POST. Yet the power supply still works...should I leave it plugged in hoping that it will somehow start up again ?

That’s kinda where we’re at here.

I’m familiar with all that. And if that is *really* the case there is no hope.

I’m also familiar with newspaper reporters who report information that is incorrect and with surgeons who may make value judgements about who is actually brain dead.

Isn’t it interesting that there are so many people who have very alive functioning organs but their brain is totally supposedly dead.
