I think there is a need to give us your link on where u get the
information. However from your article
The patient cannot move the limbs, grimace, or swallow, but the
upper rostral mesencephalic structures involved in voluntary
blinking and vertical eye movements remain intact.
There r 3 of the tests of brain dead tat specifically check the
eyes. Even if u have hypothermia and drug intoxification, it can
still be check if the test r conducted properly since they don't
affect the eyes.
Some doctors challenge it as well like Dr David Evans . I can
cut and paste his letter if you like.
Lets put it tis way. There r many doctors in the world and it is
not surprising if u find a few doctors tat do not support the test
of brain dead. I think it wil be more substantial if u can back up
your claim with reputable scientific organisations. There r many
scientific organisations but they consists of a panel and
discussion among the members thus r more credible compared with
single individuals. I mean if all the scientific organisations
support the test of brain dead, then I don't see why it loses to a
mere individual
You neglected to even fully read the brain dead side of
it.
Note the bold
I have read the whole article before and I find nothing is
wrong
" Traditionally, death has been defined as the cessation of all
body functions, including respiration and heartbeat. Since it
became possible to revive some people after a period without
respiration, heartbeat, or other visible signs of life, as well as
to maintain respiration and blood flow artificially using life
support treatments, an alternative definition for death was
needed.
Tat is true. Traditionally there is no cure for headache, or
stomachache and operation has a high mortality rate. Traditionally
there is no such thing as a life suppor machine. Note the word
"traditionally". In the past people do state tat death is when the
heart stop beating. But now with more medical knowledge brain dead
is the real dead
A brain-dead individual has no electrical activity and no
clinical evidence of brain function on physical examination (no
response to pain, absent cranial nerve reflexes (pupillary response
(fixed pupils), oculocephalic reflex, corneal reflexes), absent
response to the caloric reflex test and no spontaneous
respirations). It is important to distinguish between brain death
and states that mimic brain death (eg. barbiturate intoxication,
alcohol intoxication, sedative overdose, hypothermia, hypoglycemia,
coma or chronic vegetative states).
U need to re read the article. It say brain dead individual and
list etc as brain dead. Then u read there r possible sickness tat
mimic brain dead (meaning coma, hurting it have no effect), but the
brain dead test still can check for sure if it is brain dead or
not.
Note that brain electrical activity can stop completely, or
apparently completely (a "flat EEG" for some time in deep
anaesthesia or during cardiac arrest before being restored. Brain
death refers only to the permanent cessation of electrical
activity. Numerous people who have experienced such "flat line"
experiences have reported near-death experiences, the nature of
which is controversial ."
Note tat EEG is not part of the major test but supplementary one
