No, they are not brain dead. Being brain dead means the brain no longer sends or recieves neurological pulses to and from the rest of the body. When that happens, the family members are dead. If they are still alive, they are not brain dead.

No offense, but if you haven't been around these kind of people then you really can't relate.  The person you know is gone, sometimes there will be a spark, but otherwise it's just a shell of a body that is frightend, confused, anxious and so drugged up they just sit ther drooling.  As otherwise they just harm themselves and others.

 

I don't pretend to know the agony the people go through as well as their families. Mental disability and suicide runs in my family, so generally speaking I don't know anyone in my family that has lived long enough to get that way. I'm just saying that they are not brain dead.
