Fotz she has no cognitive abilities, she can not think for herself. Her cerebral cortex has been damaged so severly that the only reactions that she has are in effect reflexes. She is living off a brain stem, and I use the term living loosely, she is existing rather than living. She can survive with minimal support (no respirator and all that stuff, but she does need a g (direct) feeding tube to stay alive).
there is nothing there. I have seen some videos of her, and well there honestly isn't anything there. I don't wish death upon her, but i think it is best for all parties. The parents need to let go, something they have been unable to do, the husband could move on with his life, knowing that the woman he loved is now safe (ironically from her family who will do anything including amputation to keep her alive).
