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
also stimuli=/=commands
TIL
neat
you're welcome :3
"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?
cats are dumb
be nice 😾
I skimmed most of it because it was mostly race baiting but it is interesting.
Race baiting?
First half of the article had nothing to do with wht actually happened but how much being black could have affected her.
oh, you found the article?
yeah, it is very shit
And I agree with you, I wish they didn't brought race into this.
the topping is specifying goodguy doctor's race because he happens to be black. Geez.
better reads
What can you do in the new york times.
I think current tech isnt there yet to actually help her
