Once again the name of Terri Schiavo has hit the newspapers, only this time she is being compared to a man who was minimally conscious for 19 years. No one knows why it is happening but this man’s brain seems to be healing and he has come out of the minimally conscious state.
This raises the question about whether the judge involved in the Schiavo case should have made the decision to allow Terri to be killed by the pulling of her feeding tube. The press are being careful to continue the cover up about Terri’s condition and some are continuing to perpetuate the myth that she was brain dead. However, I question the notion that Terri was brain dead because her medical records actually state that she was neurologically awake. Since that was the case then Terri was not brain dead and the people who persist with that particular lie need to find out all of the information regarding her state of health. After all brain dead people do not laugh at jokes.
