Quote: Dr. Alexander Mauskop, a neurologist and director of the New York Headache Center, said the chances are "close to zero" that Schiavo will survive, even if the tube is reattached.
Mauskop said that Schiavo's kidneys have probably failed, a condition that could not be reversed even if water supply to the body was resumed. And despite the Schindlers' claims, Mauskop said, Schiavo could not be conscious with such a severely eroded cerebral cortex.
"She's not suffering at all," he told FOX News, adding, "Maybe it would not be bad to let the parents have their child, even if it's just the body ... maybe they should have the right to come and watch her and think she's alive."
Schindler family spokesman Randall Terry angrily dismissed that assessment, calling Mauskop "Dr. Frankenstein."
....As opposed to any other artificial means of prolonging or manufacturing her life with a series of tubes, plugs, etc., a la Frankenstein?
