Jahi's mother has shown photos of Jahi with necrosis on her eye and hands before taking them quickly off the internet after people bashed her for it. Isn't it a health hazard to living people to have a dead body slowly decompose above ground? How long will the authorities allow this gruesome thing to continue?

It's a similar concept as the Lazarus sign. They are both spinal cord-mediated reflexes, no brain or brainstem required. There's no miracle recovery, I assure you. Otherwise, I'm sure Uncle Omari wouldn't have deleted it.

I hope the DocBastard will come back to the topis of Jahi in the future and offer some explanation to this nonsense that this shows proof. There appears to be some atrophy(?) in the feet but what I know I have learned from House and Greys Anatomy what do I know.

In the video, Jahi's mother insists "Jahi responds to cold stuff". She then proceeds to rub an ice cube across Jahi's feet to which "Jahi" moves her feet. To which Jahi's mother insists "A brain dead person can't do that"<br /><br />I pick faults with the entire video. The biggest one is that a brain dead person CAN "do that". These movements were not in a voluntary fashion, they were more of a muscle spasm fashion. <br /><br />The second was the appearance of the feet. The toes were tight together, not loose and free like those who actually have a living pulse and not an artificial one by way of ventilator. Her complexion was also of that of a corpse. She doesn't have that lively hue a living person has. Jahi's feet were also very bloated. Hmmm, bloating, that's consistent with decomposing.<br /><br />The video has since been removed but I still found it very interesting. Hopefully they stop the charade soon but something tells me Jahi isn't the only "brain dead" participant in this tragedy.
