Plus the most misunderstood organ in the body is the brain. There is about 50% of it that they have no idea what it does or is capable of doing. Who knows but what it could take over some of the functions of other parts of the brain if it needed to?Originally posted by Pam
Caseysmom, Fox News just now stated again that Florida law requires an autopsy for a cremation. (Sheppard Smith reporting)
Catland, I have seen nothing that indicates she is brain dead.
One thing to think about (and yes, it applied to my family when my dad died) is Terri's family have loved her her entire life. The husband is just a stranger (to them at least) who married their daughter and may / or may not really love her.
When you've loved someone your entire life (or theirs), it's hard to sit by and watch someone else (that you may not trust completely), make decisions for your loved one that you don't agree with.
My dad was in a coma when my step mom made the decision to take him off a feeding tube. He would still respond to my voice but no one else's. I knew he had a DNR and a living will but I still didn't agree with her decision. He was dying anyway, there was no reason to put him through dehydration and starvation too.
