Re: For those interested in Jahi McMath.

I wish this topic would be put to rest along with Jahi. The whole pathetic family should go away and people should stop giving them money. They are ""users"" who will play off of others as long as they can.

Whether or not it is medically true, many people believe as long as a heart is beating and a person is breathing, they are alive.

Just to clarify, Jahai is not breathing on her own, nor is her heart beating on its own.

ITA.

I think this is an entirely different situation than the BK situation.

Both sad and tragic.

I don't think it's any different at all. I don't think BK is in any better shape than JM was. BK was found unresponsive and was put on a vent to keep her breathing. BK didn't go into cardiac arrest, but the end result is the same---they are both on vents to keep them alive.

I think the BK case is a matter of celebrities being treated differently than "regular folk".

I haven't read that BK was for sure brain dead where Jahi definitely was. That is the difference.

But that's ARTIFICIALLY alive!

Re: For those interested in Jahi McMath.

This poor child - I prefer to think of her in that picture with that big smile. Whatever the family has chosen to do is their business. And if they are "scamming", well, then that's on them. Nobody knows what is really going on unless they are there with Jahi and her parents. I think the media was wrong to report this latest "development" - the rent has since been paid and really has no bearing on the original story.
