The concepts quality of life and experience seem meaningless to me when we're talking about someone who was declared dead a month ago. Beyond that point it is about what the family wants, feels and experiences.
The otherwise appalling article about the way the school handles the crisis was good in that the other children put into words what Jahi was like as a person. I hope that along the road they can remember her for her smile and helpful nature and infectious laughter and not just because she became brain dead and a hospital tried to starve her.

The younger brother says "She would do everything for me. She would make my plate, wash my clothes, without her there it is just not the same".
Sorry but that kid is like 10 or so. One would think their MOTHER would make their plate and wash their clothes. That statement was coached to an extreme. A kid that age would NOT come up with something like that regarding the death or serious illness of their own sister! He would say typical kid stuff, stuff like he misses her, they have fun together etc... He would NOT start pointing out how "useful" she was in a practical sense regarding meals and laundry!
