From the above link......
The family has been aided by Dr. Paul Bryne, a doctor in Ohio and the past president of the Catholic Medical Association

Pumping oxygen into a corpse to keep it animated is macabre to say the least.... and now it seems that they intend to pour liquefied food into it through a large gaping hole CUT in its throat. This is SICK!!

I have read a couple of things posted about the family not following instructions after surgery which could have caused the bleeding which resulted in her dealth. I wonder if someone is giving this family all this false hope just until the body is in bad enough shape that they can not say exactly what happended to the child in order to be able to sue the hospital.

If McMath is a corpse, she is a surprisingly active one. Her heart is still beating, something readers will learn from even some of the same stories saying she is dead. And how does this corpse manage to digest food or breathe?

By any common sense measure, “brain death” is not death. It was a baldly ideological definition of death concocted in the 1960s to make everyone feel better about plucking the organs of still-living persons and pulling the plug on inconvenient patients.

Yet the media treats the parents’ comments about their daughter as a “belief.” The parents have taken their daughter, we’re told, to a hospice that “shares their belief” that the girl is alive.

Is it a “belief” that her heart is still beating? No, it is a fact. But don’t let your lying eyes fool you, says CNN.com, which ran one story with the headline, “Why Brain Dead is Really Dead.” The story never gets around to explaining how cadavers manage to keep their blood circulating, why cadavers would need drugs before organs are extracted from them, or how cadavers manage to give birth to children (which has happened in a number of cases involving women declared brain dead).
