Judge: Oakland teenager may not be brain dead after all

I thought this paragraph was interesting:

"An attorney for the family is arguing Jahi is alive and therefore entitled to more than the cap of $250,000 on medical malpractice lawsuits involving children who die as a result of surgery."

I also find it interesting that it's a religious website and they did not have the correct name in the caption of the photo.

It's about the money -- it's been about the money all along.

I'd be curious how much money has been provided in services by New Jersey since she transferred here.

I always find it ironic that highly religious people will fight so hard to keep someone from going into the next life. I would expect them, of all people, to have faith in God's providence for us in eternity. Yet they fight tooth and nail to cling to this temporal existence.

What does being a religious web site have to do with it?

Are they supposed to be infallible when it comes to typos or spelling errors?

Or are you finding two separate things interesting?

Two separate things- 1. that it's a religious website (let's be honest- there are times religion and science but heads)

2. That in the caption of the picture they call her Jahi McGrath, in the subheading they call her Jami McMath, and then they finally get it right in the body as Jahi McMath.

Well, at the bottom of the article it shows it's from the East Bay Times which has the exact same information, different picture, so I don't know what difference it would make that it is on a religious website, if it's factual information.

As far as the name, I guess people do make mistakes.

By the way, it's butt heads.
