Either I'm stupid or clueless.

I just read that Sunny Von Bulow has passed away. I didn't realize she was still alive.

1. She isn't alive, she just passed away. n/t

[terrya]

2. Well, yes.

I should have said "had been alive". My bad.

Although, of course I guess you can question the quality of life of being in a coma for those so many years.

3. I asked that same question, Terry.

When did her life end, really? Seems to me she has been dead for an awful long time even IF her body was technically alive.

So very sad. I can't imagine being trapped inside a non-functional body.

4. I thought she was long dead also

imagine that. Coma for how long?

5. She was in a coma for 28 years.

Got to watch Reversal Of Fortune again. Jeremy Irons was great as Claus.

6. she wasn't

if you have enough money, they'll keep your corpse on machines for decades to drain the family of money

similar happened to an older relative of mine

it should be illegal, keeping people alive for decades, when there is no chance that brain function can ever return, strictly to rob the families

don't get me started, i feel the steam coming out of my ears just thinking about it

we can only hope the bodies tortured like this truly do have NO awareness, rather than some awful blurred awareness that they cannot move and cannot do anything and don't know what has happened to them...for decades

you wouldn't do it to a damn dog

7. I've even seen the movie, and I thought she was dead, too

8. Does it have to be either or?

:hide:

I kid. :D
