Jahi McMath, Once Declared Dead, is Not Brain Dead Neurologists Say

Actually, I wasn't clear before. The infections are worse because of mutations that create new bacteria. For instance, MRSA isn't known to have existed before the early 1960s and didn't become widespread until the late 1990s.

But you are correct, they aren't actually stronger, they are just more resistant to what we have available.

Then there’s Gruber and Zeke, the CAPO, Emanuel.

Probably another nit. But MRSA is not a "new bacteria." It's simply a new strain of Staphylococcus aureus, which has been around a very long time.

Now that it's resistant, it can go back to doing to people what Staph infections did before penicillin. Which isn't pretty.

True brain death becomes hemodynamically unstable after a couple days.

Point taken.

I was thinking about her yesterday. Thank you for the update.

The feeding tube can be stopped and she can get whatever nutrition she is able to swallow. The same way it happened for millenia before we had the technology to keep someones heart beating in an artificial fashion. I cry for this young woman who is being held captive to machines and tubes by her family rather than letting her go to her Father. Just because you can do something does not mean you should.

Cherry, I’m with you. This is life?? I followed this case in CA when it was happening; I think the parents are nuts. The hospital said, ‘There are things we know that would make our case very clear, but we are not legally allowed to say them.’ I’m glad it’s not my vote, however.

Thanks for the ping!

"reminds me of the emotional intensity of those who wanted Terri Schiavo dehydrated to death."

I noticed this too. The so-called "experts" were way too eager to have Jahai made dead. Never mind what the other experts that her family brought in, had to say.

Death Lobby is/was heavily involved in her case-IMO.

But look at what the story completely fails to report: Two very respected neurologists have testified that she is no longer brain dead. Yet, this is the most important evidence that she is not dead. How could the reporter fail to even mention that?

Life in post-truth America.

Here’s a supporting statement from UCLA neurologist:

“..But I also wrote that if her body did not deteriorate–as happens in almost all brain death cases–that would raise my eyebrows. Now, it’s one year later, and she remains here. My eyebrows are now above my receding hairline.

Moreover, I am increasingly suspicious of the seeming ideological commitment of some to making sure she stays dead. “

Wow!

That’s a great link, very convincing, basically the best documentation on this so far. I know this was posted about 10 days ago. I’m catching up on this story.

Don't go knocking Jeb, it takes guts to read the New Testament and decide that Pontius Pilate is the person you would most like to pattern you life after.

Heh
