Neurologists see little sign of activity in Schiavo's brain
BY BOB LAMENDOLA
South Florida Sun-Sentinel
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - (KRT) - Scans of Terri Schiavo's brain show that the great majority of her gray matter where thinking and feeling occur has died off and been replaced by watery fluid, with no chance of growing back, neurologists said.
About 70 to 90 percent of Schiavo's upper brain is gone, and there's also damage to her lower brain that controls instinctive functions like breathing and swallowing, said three Florida neurologists who viewed 12 of her CT "computed tomography" X-ray scans Tuesday and Wednesday.
"This is as severe brain damage as I've ever seen," said Dr. Leon Prockop, a professor and former chairman of neurology at the University of South Florida College of Medicine in Tampa, upon viewing the scans.

About 70 to 90 percent of Schiavo's upper brain is gone...That STILL makes her over-qualified to be an 11th Circus Court Judge.

Yeah, and Freepers see little signs of activity in some neurologist's brains. Ask these same neurologists to create a brain. Ask them to explain how a person with an almost non-exitant brain can lead a normal life. They don't know, yet it happens.

Horsepucky!
I'll tell you this rush to kill her is really unseemly. I don't think I have ever seen anything so stunning in my life. When, just when, did we become a country that values life so little?

Well then, the state must kill her by all means. We cannot be expected to have people living among us who do not meet the criteria of the master race.
To: ambrose
I could be wrong, but I think we've established that she's brain-damaged.
OH, WAIT! That's right. The media is trying to say she's brain-dead! If they just say it enough times, people will believe it.
/continues to be insulted by the MSM's attempt to brainwash the public.

Just more evidence of what is already known. The right decision has been made....her decision.

Exactly what scans did the good doctor analyze? Are they recent? Or maybe this is just a report to make us feel good that we starved to death a helpless lady who couldn't speak for herself? A lady who unfortunately married the wrong guy????
To: ambrose
But isn't there something especially hideous about killing an innocent, helpless human being? That's why I'm on this side of the fence.
To: ambrose
More dehumanizing and removing the sanctity of life from our culture.
Whatever you are missing means you are worth killing. Eventually it will be less and less that is required to be missing before you can be ordered to die by the courts.

I have heard that there has never been an MRI scan of Terri. Why not do one?
