A rather neat article on how scientists are determining several factors to make sure that a person is brain dead before 'pulling the plug'.

Is this a problem? Are Drs are cutting people off life support too soon? What do you do if someone tells you that your loved one is in a coma that they will NEVER come out of it, and are essentially brain dead. What do you do?

My Southern Mama may have some input on this. She is a RN.
