Ariel Sharon was not brain dead. He was in a coma. There is a MASSIVE difference between being comatose and having zero brain activity. Jahi has zero brain activity. There is no blood going to her brain and there are no electrical impulses in her brain. This means she is dead.

The only reason her heart is beating is because of the machines she is hooked up to. The machines are the only things keeping her “alive”.

Terri Schiavo was in a vegetative state. She was not brain dead. People who are in a vegetative state have brain activity.

Jahi’s mother is partially to blame because she did not follow the doctors’ post-op instructions. She gave her daughter a cheeseburger and had her laughing, BOTH of which she was instructed not to do. Also, Jahi’s grandmother suctioned out her throat which was incredibly foolish and dangerous. She was not authorized to do so.

This was not a routine surgery. She underwent a very risky surgery that is not common for kids her age because of the dangers. Her weight was also a factor.

The doctors are being dragged through the mud. ALL surgery is risky and sometimes the patient will die. The doctors did not kill the girl.

What you are describing is - literally - a dead body.

As if there was simply a newly dead body, brought into the morgue, and then they decided to hook it up to a heart/lung machine.

How could such a thing be allowed? How could doctors receive authorization to treat a completely dead body in this manner? This simply does not make sense. If this were the case, no doctor and no lawyer could support such activity - they’d have no professional grounds for their behavior. That’s why I cannot believe that “dead” in this case means actually, completely dead. And that’s why I think there’s a lot of lying going on here by the hospital and doctors. Dead is not severely bad - it’s dead. Yet the reports by her family’s attorney are that she is severely, extremely bad. How could he possibly get away with something like this if he was lying? And to what end?

It just seems impossible as well as meaningless. That’s why I believe there must be some brain activity that is being argued over, versus simply meat.
