Analysis of Terri Schiavo's brain revealed that it was mush.
To put it more analytically
"She had developed hydrocephalus ex vacuo, a condition marked by enlarged ventricles filled with cerebrospinal fluid, because of this profound loss of cortical volume"
Half her brain was gone and it was the part we have identified as the seat of identity.
Her brain was so far gone that believing she still existed requires dualism.
So what? I mean, why would that even matter?
Are you contending that she was simply medically dead?
Are you asserting that she wasn’t worth feeding, because her “identity” had been lost?
You are saying implicitly that Terri didn’t “exist” in some kind of philosophical framework? That is truly bizarre. What physician, judge, or pastor would claim that this person didn’t exist?
Do you even know what “dualism” is? Apparently not!
What are you really trying to prove with “analysis”?
