They may have some agenda beyond good science but several board certified neurologists have said that her condition may be other than a persistent vegetative state. Most of them appear to be basing their opinion on observation rather than examination.
As I have said previously, I tend to believe those that say she is brain dead as far as conscious thought is concerned but the fact remains that the workings of the brain are still largely a scientific mystery.
The fact that this case is singled out while dozens if not hundreds of similar patients will go on living is distressing. Whatever is done, it should have to do with the patient's condition and not the whims of others.
