Is Ariel Sharone still alive? I just watched one of the political videos
and he was shown with Shrub & Unka Dick. Made me realize I haven't heard anything about him in MONTHS! Is he still alive, errr....being kept breathing?

1. Haven't heard anything to the contrary.

3. Yes, his body is technically alive
and we will know he's dead because there will be a paroxysm of orchestrated grief in Israel when he goes.

I have no idea if his mental condition has ever improved. I have no idea if he's still on a ventilator. If the latter is true, then he's about at the end point. All it will take is a stray bacterial spore in his unit.

4. Apparently, as of April,
He's "somewhat improved" and "minimally responsive." He's able to answer questions with slight movement of his hands and fingers.

6. Terri Schaivo was breathing on her own.
I read 2 months ago Sharon was still on the vent but have not read anything really recent.

10. Yes and unfortunately that really muddied the waters.
A lot of the court battle was deciding if tube feeding can be considered artificial life support.

That case is the PERFECT example of why every single adult in America, regardless of age, needs to make their wishes legal. I really wish hospitals and doctors would be more aggressive toward getting people to fill out advanced directives. People need to understand there ARE worse things than death.

9. Is eating brains kosher?
I imagine it'd take a whole lot of brains to keep that zombie going.

His Doc. placed a corned beef sandwich next to his bed so he could smell it. In hopes of a response. I am NOT kidding. I have no link to the story , but remember hearing it on the news. Does anyone else remember that?
