It sounds like mid-90s Pumpkins, you are either ok with that or not. 🤔

Here is a great (4-year-old) video asking that very question.....

...or 80's even. :)

Ok. Lets recall high school chemistry. Do you know what dissolves fats? Fats. Fats are hydrophobic (water-fearing) and so polar solvents (like water, will not work). Non-polar solvents like carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), benzene(C6H6), and diethyl ether ( CH3CH2OCH2CH3), hexane(CH3(CH2)4CH3), methylene chloride (CH2Cl2)w…

I agree if you were to assume:

The word you are looking for is “nocebo”

and....

Stop. It is not difficult to tell the difference between someone who is brain dead from PVS, firstly the definition of PVS is a diagnosis that can only be made in a patient in that state >30 days.

“In this case, for instance, science literally has no idea if this girl might ever recover or not.”

I appreciate what you are saying, but AFAIK this does not apply to someone who is technically “dead.”

I am an ICU doctor and I routinely do brain death exams on patients. A couple of things to be mindful of...

No offense to those who do - but this is why I will never spend a cent on stuff outside of new content. Be it Blizzard or Bungie. I am not going to spend $50 to have a cool emote, a fancy looking mount or access to a banker. Yes, I am looking at you Bethesda/ZeniMax.
