What on earth are you talking about?

Sharon is not brain dead we have covered this. Now while in a permanent vegatative state sure theyve done scans to determine what if any brain function he has. He isnt brain dead I should hope they are monitoring his brain function of to detemine any progress (or loss) made he is a fully living person by (almost) every country’s definition!

I did just look up the law in Israel which was changed in 2008 and now does require some ancialry testing to confirm brain death. however these tests can be as rudimentary as transcranial doppler flow and do not require sophisticated scans per se. At any rate:

1) That is not what they were doing in Sharon’s case

2) In the US this is not the law
