"Despite what people say about my daughter being dead and how I must be ignorant not to get that, I can tell you that she is much better physically "

How can that be possible?

From the same article:

Medical experts and ethicists have criticized the decision to keep Jahi on a ventilator, saying there is absolutely no chance of recovering from brain death.
Bioethics experts also took issue with news media coverage that often repeated family assertions that the girl was alive, saying it clouded an issue the public already has difficulty grasping.

"God can overcome all things and I believe that his will has yet to be fully revealed," Winkfield wrote. "I love Jahi and where there is love, there is hope."

I'm sorry for the family, but it is time to let Jahi rest in peace.
