“perhaps you mistook that quote for something I said about the topic?”
You are trying to cop out this way?
You posted specific things that would happen if she were brain dead.
They did not happen.
A retraction is in order.

Exactly what have I said that needs retraction? If I have said something that is scientifically and evidentiarily wrong, please point it out. So far, you have not pointed out any specific mistake or misstatement on my part; you just seem to want to argue.
The general process of decay after a body dies is fairly well understood. The process alters under various conditions; obviously, the condition of keeping a corpse hooked up to a respirator and pumping nutrients and hormones into it has changed the course of the natural process. Don't get me wrong--certain things that happen in a dead body have already happened in Jahi's body and by now--assuming the body is still hooked to machines--have probably reached some sort of stop point due to the unusual circumstances. The thing I find most puzzling is the lack of microbial activity, since the guts are normally full of bacteria and fungi that eagerly spread throughout the body once death has occurred. Maybe the IVs are also pumping antibiotics into her body. I don't know.
Everything I speculate about the state of the body at this point is purely hypothetical, since I have no way of knowing that the body is still being maintained on machines. Perhaps it is theoretically possible for a corpse to be maintained on machines for this long, but it is unprecedented.
Honestly, at this point, the situation looks like a pure scam, and the lawyer is the ringleader of it. I would be surprised if he really files a lawsuit, since doing so would require providing medical evidence of the public claims--and he can't do that, since there is none. If there were evidence that Jahi is actually alive and comatose rather than brain dead, he would have gone ahead with the lawsuit in October, 2014, when he was making public claims that the MRI shows functional brain tissue. The fact that he did not actually file a lawsuit back then to overturn the death declaration, and is now bringing up the subject again, says volumes about what is really going on. My take on the current talk of a lawsuit is that donations have been drying up, and this is a way to get publicity that will make the money flow again.
The big question now is where is Jahi's body, and in what state is it?
