A person in a coma has a living, functional brain and is therefore fully alive. Often, comatose people are aware of what is going on around them. I’m all for keeping comatose people alive and giving them the time they need for their brains to heal. (If you ever have a comatose relative, remember that—talk to them and provide something worthwhile to listen to.)
Jahi was not comatose. She was dead. Her brain was mummified. There is no particular benefit to maintaining the body of a dead person in a lifelike state. In fact, there is quite a bit of harm. For example, how did Jahi’s siblings fare when their mother was obsessing over their sister’s corpse for several years?
Most uninformed post I’ve seen. True brain death or cessation of brain function would not allow a heart to beat for five years.
You should refrain from opining on that which you do not understand.
She was able to move her hand and feet sometimes when her mother would ask her to as well as breathe a little on her own. She also continued to grow and began to menustrate. There was one doctor who was lobbying to have the death certificate changed because he thought she was just severely brain damaged. That said, she very likely would have spent the rest of her life in that bed, and she is now at peace on the other side.
