The Truth about Brain Death

Brain-dead woman gives birth, then die

ROME — A brain-dead woman kept alive artificially for more than two months gave birth to a premature baby girl, doctors at a Milan hospital said. A few hours after the Saturday birth, the machinery artificially keeping the 38-year-old woman alive was shut off, doctors at Milan's Niguard hospital said.

The baby girl, born two months early, was breathing on her own Sunday, doctors said. The baby, named Cristina after her mother, was born by emergency Caesarian section and weighed just over 1.5 pounds, the doctors told reporters. The woman's last name was not released to protect the family's privacy. Doctors decided to deliver the baby after the woman's blood pressure plunged and the fetus experienced heart rhythm problems, the hospital said.

The woman was hospitalized in March after suffering the rupture of a cerebral aneurysm, and she was soon declared brain dead, the hospital said. She spent 78 days in a brain-dead state, it said.
The mother's kidneys and corneas were donated for transplant, the hospital said. Her liver was donated to another patient at Niguarda hospital, news reports said.

Meanwhile, on this Matrix Island, a mere 24 hours wait had rendered Mr. Sim's liver unsuitable for harvest, according to Khaw, the Minister of Health! And a further 24 hours cannot be granted lest other organs fail too, and so we have to ignore the 69 years old mother leading the entire family in kneeling!!

What the F? In the eyes of our Matrix masters, we Human Batteries are really so ignorant and gullible? Now that's insulting! Mr. Sim's sister said here: "

针没有插到你的肉。。。你不知道痛
当针插到你的肉时。。。你才知道痛!!!
(When the needle dun poke on u, U Wont Feel the Pain!...)"


Well said. But, Human batteries, do you really need the Matrix Master to poke you with a needle before you pluck up the courage to swallow your red pill? You want to wait till you are 40, retrenched but discriminated in your job search, sick but receive no welfare, before you embrace check and balance, free press and human rights?

That would be way too late, as the Sim family found out the hard and tragic way! Now is the time. We may not be as brave as these people, but we can still make a stand through various anonymous ways.

Here's some other brain "dead" cases, all of which benefited from not having occurred on this Matrix Island:

What more new reports do we need to complete our "conspiracy theory"? Go see it for yourself!

Morpheus: Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself.

Hi Human Battery...
Hv been wanted to Thank U dayS for everythg esp Ur (1 to 1) Detail & Humour ans abt the letter to the Minister ...

The ans fr him is kind of like Very 敷衍... -
Thank you for the feedback. We will all learn from this incident so that we can better handle similar incidents in the future.

The fact is that organs begin to deteriorate after brain death has
occured and there is a small limited window for organs to be of any use to the
recepients.

I am sorry that you lost a loved one but I hope you can take some
comfort that his loss has saved 3 lives.

We will no doubt have to re-explain to Singaporeans what is brain death, what Human Organ Transplant Act is for and so on. We will do so.

不客气. You are welcomed :)

You mean he really gave your family the reply that I predicted on the comment page of this post? I don't know whether to laugh or to cry! To laugh in pride that my political instinct is so good, or to cry in sadness that our MOH is confirmed to be as pathetic as i have predicted!

His whole letter is basically saying that it is your family's fault lah! Firstly, you people do not understand the meaning of brain death and hota (and so they will re-explain to everyone). Secondly, you people do not understand that organs will deterioriate (and so he has to re-explain to you in the letter).

They are insisting that it is *not* their fault to have not granted 1 more day. They side-tracked and refused to answer the questions (in bullets points in this post) raised by your family and concerned citizens!

This type of bureaucratic reply is not surprising to me, though I hope your sis has not been too surprised when she read his letter? Maybe the reply will help convince her and your other siblings of your view?

By the way, if the reply letter was in English, it means that the Minister couldn't even be bothered to take the time to write in a language that your mother and family members can read most comfortably. (His chinese standard is good leh). In fact, he may not even have read your letter or drafted the reply! Maybe, some junior staff wrote it, and asked him to sign.

So you see? My intuition about politics is not always right - I had expected him to at least personally pen a Chinese letter - if only to put on a air of fake sincerity - after making your family so upset. (That's why I wrote in Chinese when I try to imagine how I would reply if I were him). Apparently, our Matrix Masters have outdone what I could imagine. Maybe if I have a $1,500,000 salary to defend, I will be better able to put myself in the shoes of these Elite Uncaring Faces!

他把你们那充满悲愤与泪水,泣血控诉的申冤书, 轻描淡写变成了个 "feedback" (反馈)???

是他没有 PR skill, 还是他那些 "communication experts" 叫他故意如此 "downplay" 的?

还真耐人寻味!

Human Battery,
If what Sim7soul wrote is the actual reply in its entirety, I find your Chinese pt-by-pt pretend-reply even more sincere that Khaw's general and dismissive letter!
