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

[Th1onein]

88. You really need to inform yourself.

The idea of being "brain dead" is relatively recent. You don't know that? Inform yourself, please.

And, of course, acceptance of death has to come before grieving can begin, but what you are saying is that grieving has to start, therefore, acceptance of death must begin. You know that's what you're saying, unless you're completely twisting language. Or do you really expect me to believe that, while you are insisting that this girl is dead, grieving can start somewhere in the future?

By what definition is the girl not dead? Well, let me put it this way: The criteria for "brain dead" is different the world over; disputed the world over. It is by no means uniform. That should give you pause. Also, the fact that we simply don't have the technology to determine whether the entire brain is inactive, should make you question. We know that this organ has holistic, even holographic, capabilities, but we can say that because the top couple of layers has no activity, then the whole thing is dead? I don't think so.
