Pretty rich for a poster trying to break down /interpret what a medical expert(Mcmath's own doctor) is trying to explain to you when you barely understand the difference between death & a vegetative state.

I also don't need you to explain atrophy to me as I have discussed atrophy in other posts regarding these dead women. Since you know more than Mcmath's own Doctor I would like you to break down /interpret what Dr. Arthur Caplan (-Head of the Division or Bioethics at NYU) has to say about Mcmath:

"You can't feed a CORPSE. Are there some living cells in the body?(due to artificial oxygen source) Not all cells die at once. It takes time, but her body will start to breakdown & DECAY. It's a matter of when not whether if"

He goes on "They are trying to ventillate a CORPSE" ,but 'she is going to start decompose'. Caplan goes on to refer to the hospital that took McMath's 'corpse'(after being turned down by sane institutions) in professional terms as "CRAZY".

Since you understand the Doctors words better than themselves I will defer & allow you to interpret his words as well.

Just like no one is called 'heart dead' the term 'brain dead' should be dismissed because it obviously causes far too much confusion.
"Brain death" only refers to the cause of her death it is not implying that their is life any place else. Life , consciousness , our very bring is centered in the brain/brain stem & not muscles/organs like the lungs & heart. Lungs & heart are simply mechanical parts which are being artificially stimulated to mimic breathing/life.

Unless these women were horribly misdiagnosed (we don't fully understand the brain)they are dead & Mcmath was declared dead by the coroner weeks ago.

And to think anyone would like to harvest a fetus inside a slowly decaying corpse is sick. Stephen King mind could not come up with such a twisted ssaga.

Not sure what all of that means. But, back in the day before laws were written to allow the declaration of brain death, or whatever y'all want to call it, we ventilated patients for years. Everyone knew these patients would not survive without the artificial means of support but keeping patients "alive" for many, many months was quite possible.
The ones that started to "decompose" would develop sepsis and be dead in a day or three.
