re: #139 Lidane

It’s the same thing that drove the Schiavo fiasco, along with the family’s hatred of Terri’s husband.

They’re afraid of death. They’re afraid to let go of their daughter and to let nature take its course. Brain death is the exact same as death. She’s gone and will never, ever come back. No amount of prayers or moving her body is going to change that. Ever.

I suspect the fact that this was elective surgery agreed to by the mother is resulting in a lot of guilt as well as denial. The people taking advantage of this poor woman should be ashamed of themselves.
