@Lynxoid Is not the stroke you have to worry about, its doctors managing to keep you going after you should have died

Fuck

It is ironic you talk to me about that

I just read an article yesterday about a girl who was diagnosed braindead but kept alive on for several months by the family, and recovered to a minimally-conscious state

what the fuck right?

assuming this is not a hoax

"New Jersey doctors who had examined her, and Shewmon, who concluded that Jahi had fulfilled the requirements of brain death at the time of her diagnosis but no longer did. He wrote, “With the passage of time, her brain has recovered the ability to generate electrical activity, in parallel with its recovery of ability to respond to commands.” "

so dead vegetable to living vegetable

literally brought back from the dead by their own body

well it's not like she's up and about

she just responds to stimuli now

It doesn't matter

she's conscious somehow

....you know what a subjective perspective is, right?

Her brain responds to external stimuli, thats not actual consciousness by popular definition.

It is

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimally_conscious_state

also stimuli=/=commands

TIL

neat

you're welcome :3

so what's a command

"move your finger"

"move your leg"

etc

I think they should just let her die tbh.

Like.

The fact she recovered consciousness is already a miracle in itself, but It's kind of inhumane to just keep her like that forever. Is she really ever going to regain full consciousness?

also reminder to always wash your lynx at least once a week

cats are dumb

be nice 😾
