Wow it still hasn't come to a conclusion, the next step could get ugly. Overturn CA death certificate and apply for disability benefits. This could get ugly again.
Poor girl.

And wow part 2. From the previously linked facebook page:
We should all be very afraid of what these so-called medical professionals are capable of. The term "brain death" was dreamt up by some Harvard students with no proof to back it up & it ends up signed into law with one goal and one goal only and that's organ donation. Did you know that when a brain dead persons organs are "harvested" no anesthesia is given to the "donor" and in many cases their blood pressure & pulse rate skyrocket? Thank God Jahi's mother put a stop to their ridiculous bullshit. Jahi will prove them ALL wrong! God Bless Jahi & her family.

Now I'm not a physician but I'd guess that a brain dead person having an organ removed would cause some kind of effect on the body. I wonder if she knows you don't have to opt in organ donation?

Poor girl.

I don't think there's any reason to think "poor girl", she is dead and it doesn't impact her at all. It's "poor taxpayers", we're going to end up footing the bill for legal costs and/or benefits and all that garbage if some idiot judge can be convinced to throw out all logic.

I understand how it must be incredibly tough for the mother to finally let go, but at some point reality needs to set in. I blame those around her and the lawyers and other assorted idiots who are enabling her continued delusion.

I weep for humanity, this is the level of stupidity we have to account for in our midst :(

If I broke into this girl's room, locked the door and disconnected her from life support.... what crime besides trespassing could I be charged with?

Dr. House would have the patient hooked up with a brain monitoring system and say certain things to get a brain blip to the verbal commands.

No certain blip would equal brain death.

They would simply plug her back in and act like it never happened...She's been dead for a year already, do you think her being off of a machine for 10 minutes is going to change their mind by this point ??

But would she then start decaying? Currently she isn't decaying. If you see the person rotting, then you have to know that they are dead.

She is a living body but with a dead brain, it would take her as long to decay as anyone else. 10 minutes is not enough time.

This is an interesting question. I wonder how law enforcement & the courts would handle it? I realize that against the law to do stupid things to corpses would that be it and is unplugging a machine violating a corpse?

Damnit it Fanatical, lets do this for humanity! Why don't we meet up this weekend, head on over and unplug a machine! Let us BECOME history rather than merely observe it!
