Her cerebral cortex was liquified -- that's not a functioning brain. That's why it was deemed okay to pull her plug.
You said "functioning brain" and now you are saying functioning cerebral cortex. Clearly, the brain was functioning is some respect. |
Her brain was functioning enough to run her heart and lungs, and little else. She couldn't even digest solid food. Every competent doctor who examined her stated that her brain was incapable of supporting conscious thought.
In other words, she didn't have a functioning brain.
If the car radio works, but the engine won't start, there are no headlights, windshield, steering wheel, the wheels are off, and the gas tank's missing, do we have a functioning car?

ericmurphy,
Does YOUR birthdate reflect your true age? I say it doesn't. |
I asked you a simple question, Thordaddy: what is your birthday? Your answer doesn't sound like a yes or a no.
Do you still maintain that all questions have yes or no answers?
