Pink for later
Heartbreaking story.
Since we can’t cite from the article, I’ll just say the parents are trying to make it into a case of blacks getting less medical treatment than whites, implying a search for deep pockets.
If you can get past the blantant cries of racism by the family it’s an interesting story. As someone who has a parent in a dementia unit I can easily say I would not want to live like that nor would I want my family to incur the expenses of keeping me alive in such a state even if I can respond to commands. Pull the plug. I will be putting a non-ressusitate order in my will.
So many people here said she was dead, was decomposing, etc etc.
None will admit they were lying or even that they were wrong.
You can challenge it all you like, it ain’t gonna change.
just think of stepping on the shore and find heaven,
of touching a hand and finding it god’s,
of breathing new air and finding it celestial,
of waking up in glory and finding it home!
There’s no cerebral activity whatsoever. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Her brain is not receiving oxygen. It is decomposing. She is not in a coma. She is not “brain injured”. She is not “brain damaged”. She is dead. Absolutely and unequivocally dead.

What do you expect folks to do? Deny the truth that the child is dead and participate in the fantasy that she’s alive because it makes you feel better?

This person is gone.
She is in fact decomposing. Just not the visible way that you would like to believe.

For those of you from Rio Linda, “necrotic” means dead tissue. Necrotic brain tissue is essentially absorbed by the body if that body is kept artificially “alive”. In brain death, the ENTIRE brain (including the brain stem) becomes necrotic and is subsequently absorbed.
This “living” corpse is NOT EVER coming back to life. She’s been dead since December 12 despite the fact that her bodily “shell” has been kept viable. It will become more and more expensive to keep this shell “alive” as time goes on and the shell will eventually (several months?) ...

How many months has it been now, House Atreides
Brain death is not a coma—the brain is literally dead and decomposing. By now, what remains inside the skull probably has little resemblance to a brain. When the brain died, everything that was Jahi died. What is on the ventilator *is* a corpse. All that has been achieved by keeping the body ventilated is that the decay process has been slowed down—not stopped, but slowed. Death is not reversible.

Still say
Jahi McMath is a corpse and decomposing, exDemMom?
