But other medical professionals found her brain to have recovered a bit and her body is acting alive. She menstruated...as in had her first period after that declaration.There is a dispute about this and we need to be more honest about how death is declared in medicine

We cannot ignore the fact that there is much about the brain that is unknown. The definition of death is rooted on a definition of life that quantifies a person's ability to interact wholly w/ the world. If the people involved in the definition have misgivings, we should listen.

This is a terrible tragedy, but this child is dead. She isn’t responding to voice, because her brain is dead. There is no brain activity. The auditory cortex is not responding. Grant her the dignity of a proper funeral. The surgeon who did the tracheostomy mutilated a corpse.

Quite the story. It's a quality of life question for me. If I can't think, see, smell, eat or hear anymore, it's not being alive. It doesn't matter if there's a tiny portion of brain activity if most of the brain is dead, you're dead.

We have come to the point where Mother Nature is trying to desperately to take a person, but mechanical equipment is used to stop her. The body then starts to rot. It's a frightful situation one never wants to be in.
