Nursing home says it won't take 'brain-dead' girl

[cosmicone]

48. I have never ever seen a brain dead person come to life

in my entire medical career or in published literature.

You are confusing coma or persistent vegetative state with brain death. Many people wake up from coma and a few from persistent vegetative state but no one can live after being brain dead. If they did, JFK would still be alive.

Besides, it costs about $280,000 a month or $70,000 a week to keep someone in the ICU on the machines. I doubt the parents have that kind of money and the obvious conclusion is that taxpayers are going to pay for this religious exercise through medicaid or medicare or both.

If a church was paying for it I'll say go for it. However, even a church wouldn't spend good money on brain death. It will give lip service to the faith but won't write a check.

Perhaps believers like you should contribute to this utter waste of money.
