[QUOTE="PreachersWife2004, post: 69253790, member: 188814"] Point taken. I just remember that they were talking organ donation. You don't talk organ donation until someone has been declared brain dead. This isn't the case I'm thinking, but it's one case where this guy was in a vegetative state for 12 years. "Take him home and make him comfortable until he dies" - these days that means seeking out the right combination of pills or drugs to inject to die quickly a la Brittany Maynard. Ah, my bad, it wasn't a recent story - it must've shown up in Facebook feed recently though: [URL]http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2011/12/22/brain-dead-student-awakens-hours-after-doctors-suggest-pulling-the-plug/[/URL] Again, define conclusively brain dead? Are they hooked up to machines doing all of the work? Or is their body functioning while their brain is not? Terri Schialvo is a good example. She was basically legally murdered - starved to death, as far as I'm concerned. She didn't die because she was brain dead, she died because she starved to death. Let's see, how long did that process take again? Oh yeah, 14 days. I cannot attest to the biases of this website, but it does list numerous cases where the question of preserving life or prolonging death are certainly interesting ones: [URL]http://kgov.com/brain-dead[/URL] This is why I say it's case by case.
