Terri Schiavo's Autopsy: The Blind Spot

While looking for a source of a news story about another neurologist that did not agree with the Autopsy, I came across THIS long but very good and fairly easy to understand piece at
Eros Colored Glasses

It is EXCELLENT, and I recommend printing it and absorbing it a little at a time....from their blog:

HIGHLIGHTS OF PART ONE:

• By reference to the medical literature adduces evidence that a substantial portion of the loss in Terri's brain weight observed postmortem may have been due to the dehydration to which she was subjected.
• By reference to the medical literature adduces evidence that Terri's much-vaunted total cortical blindness may also be attributable to dehydration.
• Refutes the Medical Examiners' suggestion that their autopsy findings are "very consistent with" the PVS diagnosis and for years Terri Schiavo was unable to see, recognize her family, think, or exercise any of the other higher mental functions that distinguish human life.
• Refutes the Medical Examiners' suggestion that their autopsy findings prove that Terri Schiavo suffered irreversible brain damage and would not have benefited from rehabilitation.
• Critiques poor medical and scientific reasoning and misleading statements by the Medical Examiners who performed the autopsy, as well as by the mainstream media and medical experts who supported the Medical Examiners' misinterpretation of the findings.
