People/ businesses are so afraid to offend these days it overrides common sense, someone should have told her the truth and made her face it, however painful it was...it would be a lot easier in the long run if she would have faced reality...

People are too afraid of lawsuits. We are such a litigious society, suing for anything and everything. Attorneys love malpractice suits.

According to the Allnurses website in the video with the woman applying ice to her feet, there is gangrene starting in her toes. I love my son more than life and I could not do this to him. I would rather die with him.

Gangrene? Are they going to have to start amputating limbs on this poor dead girl?

I found this on a website regarding the ice on the foot.

"However, Dr. Neal E. Slatkin, a neurologist and chief medical officer at San Jose's Hospice of the Valley, said spontaneous movements aren't rare in brain-dead patients and can be seen in 50 per cent or more of such patients.

The movement, according to Slatkin, could be spinally mediated reflexes or due to irritable nerves or muscle membranes reacting to the application of cold. The movements are not an indication that she is alive, he said.

"She's brain dead. She has no thought. She has no ability to control or interact with anything in her environment," he said. "She's completely dependent on machines and forever will be."

That's sad. We all know that chickens run around with their heads cut off. I gutted a fish and it still twitched as though still alive, even though it had been out of the water a long time and had its heart cut out. Nerve movements ≠ life.

This is beyond heartbreaking and as a parent, I think that maintaining her deteriorating body with what must be a deterioriated/liquefied brain is disrespectful to Jahais memory and to what is remaining of her body.
