Re: Boy Born Without Brain, Dies at 3

Euthanasia needs to be legal and available for such cases.

He was never sentient, was never going to be. Everything was a reflex.

Think of the babies who were waiting for organs and died waiting.

Wow, this case opens up a whole huge bag of ethical worms and questions that need to be dealt with.

"He was laughing because he thought it was funny that we couldn't get him to stay still enough to roll off the pumpkins.,"

Umm, not for nothing but if he only had a brain stem he wasn't 'thinking' about anything. A brain stem is bodily function only, reflexes, blinking, breathing, grimaces, digestion, reflex to stimuli, etc. I guess if it makes them feel better, more power.
That kid was no smarter than a hamster.

Re: Boy Born Without Brain, Dies at 3

He was laughing because they couldn't get him to ly still, so he kept rolling off the pumpkins? That doesn't sound "brain dead" to me! It sort of makes you wonder just how much of ourselves is really in our brains. If Nick could find humor in a situation without a brain, I think that in itself speaks tons!
Laughter is made up in more parts then just understanding a Joke, seeing something funny, or an emotional expression. there is also a physical reaction to the nervous system, pretty much how a "tickle" works..

Re: Boy Born Without Brain, Dies at 3

Most, if not all, of the behavior attributed to this poor child is due to projection on the part of the family.

It never really happened. They wanted it to so badly, they imagined it and had the experience...as if it actually happened.

They made it all up and shared the delusion.

The parents chose to keep their baby.

They made their choice. It wasn't up to any of us.

He didn't do anything special.
He existed, without a mind.

He was a literal soulless automaton.

Re: Boy Born Without Brain, Dies at 3

A remarkable story of truly defying all odds. Wonder how aware he really was?
