Hello all My stepdad poses this question: "If people's bodies are still functioning when they are on life support (breathing, heartbeat) but their brain activity is nil, is turning them off "murder" when you consider that they have no brain activity?" I think what he is getting at is their brains are beyond repair Toby -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=19043
