Quick, someone call Terry Schiavo's parents and tell them there is hope. Oh wait...sorry...I forgot her husband already had starved to death.

"had her starved to death"
sorry
Very sad, but true.
Ping!
---In response to commands, the patients brain flared with activity, lighting the same language and movement-planning regions that are active when healthy people hear the commands. ---
In other words, better than the average Senator.
Brace yourself for the onslaught of the "I wouldn't want to live like that, so its OK to kill me and everyone else who are useless eaters, by the intentional starvation and dehydration" supporters crowd.
Palliative care of actual USA citizens is to be strictly rationed, but kidney dialysis for foreign medical patients illegally in our country, and intent upon acquiring by theft the best medical practices available on earth, is mandated.
Thank you for posting this.
I think Howeird Dean and John F'kn Kerry has proven this.
Scientists Tie About 200 Genes to Cancer (just breast & colorectal)

the organ donation organizations are now going for those who still have some brain function to bolster "donations". They are trying to pare down the number of doctors that have to declare brain death, 1 instead of 2, and lower the threshold for what constitutes "brain death" or now donations collected from those that still have brain function, they just can't "breathe" on their own and may not be able to.
my dad was declared brain dead without an eeg scan and when I repeatedly asked to see the cat scan supposedly showing "brain death", they refused.
'Nother article about this.
Now have her think of working an assembly line without using her physical body. We will become robots without bodies.
my nephew was in a wreck, sever brain damage, they said he would never come out of the induced coma and he would never come out of the induced paralisis, they also tried to get my Sis to pull his life support, threw him in a nursing home, after 5-6 months of fighting to get him home, my Sis had all Medications stopped, other than vitamins and feeding tube.This was 3 yrs ago this month. He is now getting biofeedback therapy, combing his own hair, putting on his own shirts, brushing his own teeth, and last weekend (first time in 3 yrs)he stood with his Wife and Father in the Church service. God always has a way of healing those who have FAITH. Doctors on the other hand rely on insurance and synthetic drugs to keep you medicated, sedated and medicare imprisioned. Life is Great, Although he still has a feeding tube, He is able to interact and watch his 2 beautiful daughters grow and laugh and love. Never give up hope, Miracles happen everyday.
neverdem......I don't respond much, but you sure post some extremely interesting stuff.
Thank you....
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt and personal experience. I agree with you regarding the power of God...I am one of his miracles. But, I also know many very intelligent and dedicated doctors. that work very hard to help people, heal those in need and save lives.
There is good and bad, in EVERY walk in life.........
In that case, I would be talking to an attorney. "They" can't refuse to provide medical records to immediate family members.
