Girl at center of debate over brain death dies, mother says (Jahi McMath)

Source: LA Times



A girl at the center of the medical and religious debate over brain death has died after surgery in New Jersey, her mother said Thursday.

Nailah Winkfield said doctors declared her daughter Jahi McMath dead from excessive bleeding and liver failure after an operation to treat an intestinal issue.

McMath had been in a vegetative state since December 2013, when a California coroner ruled that the 13-year-old girl died after suffering irreversible brain damage during an operation to remove her tonsils.

Winkfield refused to accept the conclusion and moved the girl to New Jersey, where she has been kept on life support and received care. The state accommodates religions that don’t recognize brain death.

why has the stormy Daniels case gone quiet?

It seems to me there was a tweet from avenatti saying they were trying to threaten him or something like that I can't remember exactly..... And now we haven't heard anymore on it for a little bit, and he's taking up the case of the kids which is great.... But I'm just curious were their threats successful? Or what's happening...
