In the old days, we called this being in a coma. The heart continued to beat, but there was no response and (sometimes) artificial respiration was necessary. In the old days, we called this 'brain dead'. We still do. With a coma there is still brain activity.

“Brain death” wasn’t even a thing until 1968 and (I know for a fact) that it wasn’t widely accepted in 1970.
That’s when I was born. I was in worse condition than Jahi and I was called a ‘vegetable’.

I was in a coma for a month in February. You aren’t dead, you can hear everything, you just can’t answer.
I am going to pray for our Lord to bring her back.
