Jahi McMath’s father sues hospital for trying to kill his daughter

Jahi's heart is beating on its own, and her organs are not failing, as would be the case if she were brain-dead. They have released several videos showing Jahi moving and reacting to stimuli.

And still her family has to go to court to have her declared "alive."

Obamacare strikes again....

Heartbreaking. This poor girl and her family have truly suffered at the hands of these callous ghouls.

Bkmrk.

I remember the FReepers who were violently opposed to preserving this girl’s life. Who viciously attacked the mother for fighting for her daughter.

Jahi’s organs aren’t dissolving. She’s not rotting. She’s healthy and has started puberty. She responds to stimuli and will wiggle her fingers and move her feet on command. Her higher brain functions are in tact. Medical tests have proven that she hears. She’s in there. The problem is that most of the brain’s commands can’t make it to her body.

This culture of death has even infiltrated the conservative movement.

Most of us in the California BayArea have long expected this type of lawsuit from the family. It’s a tragedy, but that girl has been functionally dead for the last two years.
It’s understandable the family doesn’t want to accept this.
That is their baby, their loved one.

God help this girl and her family and give them peace.

What an ordeal!

[SkyDancer]

Not unlike some Social Security recipient being declared dead and having to show up at a local office to show they’re still alive and bringing a doctor’s note attesting to the fact that yes, they are indeed alive. Bureaucracy in action.

It’s a tragedy, but that girl has been functionally dead for the last two years.

That is absolutely FALSE.

When a person is truly "brain dead" their heart WILL NOT BEAT ON ITS OWN and their organs begin to liquefy.

Jahi McMath is severely disabled due to the hospital's errors, but she is very much alive.

[trisham]

I hear you. There are almost always some anti-life FReepers who visit these threads. It’s distressing to me and I don’t really understand it.

One of the things that I recall the most about Jahi is her beautiful smile. I hope that her parents are successful.

[goodwithagun]

It wasn’t a routine tonsillectomy! The girl had sleep apnea due to her weight, and instead of being good parents and teaching her better eating and exercise habits they elected surgery. IIRC, they even removed her uvula to make her airway wider and/or less obstructed.

Jahi’s organs aren’t dissolving. She’s not rotting. She’s healthy and has started puberty.

Exactly! NONE of these things can happen if a person's brain isn't functioning.

[wagglebee]

We've gotten rid of most of them, but there are still some out there.

[Donnafrflorida]

Amen

[trisham]

We've gotten rid of most of them, but there are still some out there.

And more arriving as well.

Sleep apnea is also a cause of high blood pressure. What makes you think that her parents weren’t “good parents”?

[goodwithagun]

She obese. Look at her. If her sleep apnea was caused by high blood pressure, she had that because of her weight also. What kind of parent makes their child obese and then chooses surgery to fix the problems obesity causes? That’s child abuse.
