X-Message-Number: 28688 From: "Basie" <> Subject: Brain death Date: Sat, 25 Nov 2006 18:40:14 -0500 Quiet a number of people that drowned in cold water have been brought back to life. This means the brain has a mechanism to protect itself. The reason strokes are so catastrophic is because the brain does not recognize partial damage and can not go into self protective mode.
