I already posted this same information on this thread.

She's pretty messed up. Brain quite literally turned to liquid.

I hadnt heard this before, but last night I was watching the news and they said that the doctors think all this brain damage started from Terry having an eating disorder. Scary. I have known plenty of girls with similar problems.

For those who think its inhumane to let her go or that she can recover from this, here you go.

Her cerebral cortex is liquified.

For comparison here's a normal CT scan:

I'm only playing devils advocate here.. (I could care less about this whole thing one way or the other)

But.. you have absolutely ZERO proof of the identity of the brain in that CT scan. Anyone could have found a fucked up brain and posted it and said it was hers to further gain support for killing her.

As someone else posted, thousands of people die every day. Put one the News and the whole nation freaks out.

You're absolutely correct in questioning the source and validity. As we're not medical professionals, we have to rely on third party sources of information. However, considering the source of these particular images is the ethics department of the university of miami, these images are either the height of irony or as legitimate as one might expect to find as an online resource.

Presuming that the images are legitimate, it's fairly easy to see why most specialists would look at that image and pretty much immediately dismiss any realistic chance of recovery. Even laymen can understand that it's hard to think when you have liquid where brain should be.
