I certainly don't think she is moving anything on command. Her leg did move, but it looked to be some jerky movement, not moving something on command.
She can not breathe on her own.
Spending enormous amounts of resources on a person that can only lay in bed does not seem to me like a good way to spend resources.
I agree. It appears to me to be an extreme example of confirmation bias. We would need to see about 24 hours worth of continuous video to even begin to make any inferences. These video snips are so short that nothing can be inferred, IMO, other than she has some random spasmodic movements of her limbs. This does not appear to be purposeful movement to me.
Another thought: If Jahi is so able to respond to her mother's voice commands, why is one of the 2 video snips from May 20 of this year?? Have they not been able to capture the right kind of video snip since May, or a more recent example-- say, from yesterday? Why not have a real time internet camera hooked up for the press conference, and have a demonstration in real time?
IMO, there is little to no possibility that independent evaluation of Jahi by court appointed experts will reach the same conclusions that Dolan and the family have reached.
