I have neither seen or heard anything to the affect that her brain is mush....other than by people on SI who support the removal of her feeding tube, and speculation by some in the MSM. I've heard conflicting opinion from a few doctors that have examined her. Is there definitive report available online?

Maybe the fact that very few of us know this for a fact....and all of the "evidence" is hearsay......gives us reason to be cynical.

If TS's brain is liquified then I can't see prolonging her life. The argument then becomes....do we starve her and refuse hydration, which seems cruel and unusual to me, or do we end it quickly, as we do for so many who live on the edge?

I can see how two issues in particular that will be discussed and given much attention: how do we assist those in a pvs or otherwise have no hope, but have left no living will, and how do we write laws that best protect their rights.

I don't know, but these questions must be addressed imo.
