It seems that the more I laugh, the warmer it gets in here. Interesting.

The autopsy is out

Quote:

An autopsy on Terri Schiavo backed her husband's contention that she was in a persistent vegetative state, finding that she had massive and irreversible brain damage and was blind, the medical examiner's office said Wednesday. It also found no evidence that she was strangled or otherwise abused.

So how exactly does a blind person respond to visual stimuli again? I seem to recall this claim being made frequently.

Well, actually, blind comes in many variations. Light and shadow sensitivity is fairly common among people who are "totally blind." My friend Mike, who is "legally blind," can't see well enough to drive or ride a bike, but his limited vision (far right side and very blurry, left eye completely blind) allows him to walk most places, read with magnification, and comment on my yellow shirt. He doesn't use a cane (he should, curbs can be a bitch with no depth perception,) or a guide dog. Most people have no idea he can't see them.
My friend Debbie, who is completely blind from birth, shocked the hell out of us one day at rehearsal when she asked, "Who turned out the lights?" This, from a woman with no pupils!

Fair enough. All I really have to go by is the wording of the article which states that "the vision centers of her brain were dead, meaning she was blind." It seemed logical to assume that if the vision center of her brain is dead, that it meant total blindness. I could be wrong though.
