Howdy, Folks
 

In July 2006, my loved one was declared brain dead in a California teaching hospital. He didn't seem dead to me. I am interested in all things relative to coma, vegetative states, brain death, bioethics and the medico-legal aspects of making a person legally dead, especially when legally dead is not dead enough for the surviving loved ones.

Those are pretty emotionally-laden topics you've mentioned. Takes a lot of courage, and I'm glad to see someone has done so.

I haven't any insights, yet do want to extend my condolences on the loss of your loved one.

Wow tr~~ So sorry about your loved one. I'm sorry I can't be of any help w/your questions, but maybe someone else will come along to help.


Welcome.
