Righto.

If this girl recovers at all, we probably need to re-examine our criteria for designating brain death.

But from the accounts I’ve read, short of a miracle it is very unlikely. With true brain death, body deterioration is ongoing.

I find it odd that prolifers will insist, accurately, that a separate human life begins at conception, based on science. Then turn around and reject the input of science as to what constitutes brain death and therefore the end of life.

It is always possible that brain death is improperly diagnosed, but that’s an argument for better diagnosis, not for return to the old and discredited definition of death as the heart having stopped.

No matter what happens...and we know that she is dead....that expert pediatrician will say...it was the hospitals fault because they took away food...etc ect.

You have to look into the book that he wrote...It seems that he almost believes that there's no such thing as death. He's just trying to sell his book....and maybe make a few bucks....like a lotta bucks. I can assure you, he's not a freebie.
