The damage she sustained in her brain was too much , the Dr bluntly said she will never wake up and function , she will just be fed and artificially kept a live , through 2 tubes in the throat. The Dr asked since you have been together would she choose that kind of life, i said no , she would rather be let go. Her biological family in the other hand with religion/duca wants her to be living like that for the rest of her natural life , forcefully fed , artificially be kept a life , in a eternal coma. No parts of her body moves , only she blinks and chokes or coughs , that is it. The brain is so much damaged she daily convulses into fits.

Do somalis understand , once your brain is finished despite the heart beat and breathing and little facial movement or eye blinks , you are done finished and should let go?? That i couldn't get across to the family , and the nurses and doctors are bewildered. Keeping a person a life in that stage is torture .

Whoever is paying for her medical expenses will eventually make them decide whether to take it off of it or not. Its not sustainable medical care expenses wise specially if the government is paying for it.

I don't know about your country but, I personally know somebody who was that same exact situation and the state decided that they were spending too much money on a brain dead person. The medical care expenses racked up to a million in the first year alone, so you can imagine what it would be in couple years. They were forced to either they be responsible of the medical expenses or take the life support off of the person which the family chose in the end.
