Earlier today I noticed some inadvertent factual errors in a Lifesite News story about the unexpected awakening of a woman, the media reported was “brain dead” but was clearly not. I posted a quick response about the matter here in order to do my best to ensure that the differing issues and controversies that involve a declaration of death by neurological criteria, and those involved with a diagnosis of PVS were not confused in the readers’ minds.
Well, to their great credit, Lifesite News corrected the story promptly, noting that the term brain dead is sometimes used inaccurately by the media when a diagnosis is actually unconsciousness. I have taken down my earlier post and link the corrected story above. Bravo to them for doing the right thing. There is a word for that: Integrity.
