Gus > What was left of her was but a soulless, flabby carcass So what? Just like a baby, all she needed was someone to feed her in order that her "carcass" could stay alive. And indeed, it took thirteen days of total starvation to finally kill (the rest of) her which shows she wasn't completely dead after fifteen years. And who REALLY knows how much residual brain function she did have? You may like to play God but I don't. And as far as the neurologists are concerned, you can put what they know in a pipe and smoke it. rense.com >>The student in question was academically bright, had a reported IQ of 126 and was expected to graduate. When he was examined by CAT-scan, however, Lorber discovered that he had virtually no brain at all. Instead of two hemispheres filling the cranial cavity, some 4.5 centimetres deep, the student had less than 1 millimetre of cerebral tissue covering the top of his spinal column. No-one knows how people with 'no detectable brain' are able to function at all, let alone to graduate in mathematics, but there are a couple theories. One idea is that there is such a high level of redundancy of function in the normal brain that what little remains is able to learn to deputise for the missing hemispheres.<<
