A year after the tonsil surgery complication that led doctors to declare then-13-year-old Jahi McMath brain dead, she is still on a ventilator, "alive and well," her family wrote on its public Facebook page.

Jahi's family successfully fought a legal battle to keep her on life support after doctors at the Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland, California, said the hospital could no longer care for her because she was brain dead. Since then, the family has argued that she is not brain dead and may recover.

IMHO "alive and well" doesn't really describe her.

1. There is a video in the link below.

I don't know how to embed just the video. The family claims that it shows Jahi moving her foot on command. It clearly does not show that, at all. It's pure reflex. I feel so sorry for them.

4. I do believe she is dead but one question-

I watched that video. How is that foot moving a reflex? How can you tell? Tks.

2. I had wondered if she was still "alive".

Thanks for the info. Of course I am still wondering if she is still technically alive. Alive and well and on a ventilator?

3. She is legally dead. She even has a death certificate.
