What are the signs of Brain Death?

Brain death means -death-. It is diagnosed by the absence of brain waves. It is possible for a person's brain to be no longer functioning but the brain stem still working, so the heart is still beating, the patient is still breathing, for a while, but the person is still 'dead'.

One in about a million babies is born with a horrible birth defect called anencephaly, meaning the baby has no brain, only a brain stem. These babies are 'alive' but have no consciousness, and only live a few hours.

You might remember the case of Terri Schiavo a few years ago, a woman who was brain dead, in a 'persistent vegetative state' but could move her head and her eyes, apparently in response to stimulus. It was a sad enough story but made worse by being made into a political football. After she died an autopsy confirmed that her brain had been totally non-functional, in fact her brain had shriveled to half its size.

ok, 3 questions in one! a million. sign of weak spot, no i do no longer think of so. you would be very reliable to stand up and say "i'm religious!" and not care approximately how human beings cope with you. 2. concern of death; i do no longer choose to die yet i'm no longer frightened of death. I easily have been confronted with death some situations and it wasn't super. many human beings prayed even nevertheless they stated that they had no God. I by no skill used to have faith yet i do now. To have faith by concern isn't reliable. 3. innovations washing: no longer in my case, i became the black sheep of the kinfolk and no one can desire to tell me what to do.....till i joined the army, then all people became telling me what to do. in case you do not have self assurance, you will no longer stand the tests you're to stand and as a result even concern of death won't keep you remarkable on. there are various people who're no longer religious who moan and ***** approximately religious human beings, i do no longer care while you're religious or no longer, why could I? that's the persons determination and that i'm happy for them the two way. i'm getting stated as on by using Jehovahs Witnesses in basic terms like all people else. i do no longer supply them a complicated time yet they annoy me whilst they combat to push you into believing something you do no longer sense comfortable with so i will comprehend all of it. i think there's a maximum severe God up there and if i'm suitable, Huzzah for me! If i'm no longer, a minimum of I easily have controlled to help human beings for the duration of my life time! Peace

yes they can do alot they can also move their hands and sometimes it feels ike they are squeezing your hand but its not them its force from muscles. its just sad but when a doctor tells you they are gone they are they have looked at the bran scan and found him to be gone. its just the easy way to say and do what is best for the person there. i mean no one wants to be there lifeless and dead with no brain. it can't be turned back on yet. for we have not found a way to do that yet. no brain activity and we know they are gone.
