Andrea Clarke has not "suffered brain death" and is not "effectively deceased", to use your words. There are more details of Andrea's condition in the original thread here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.ph... Like you I agree the doctors and nurses are not conspiring to kill Andrea. However, the huge corporations running the insurance companies and hospitals have different priorities. Money. PROFIT. It's all business and bottom line for them. They are the driving force here. And, seeing this was your first post, let me also say, Welcome to DU!  |
