http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/anen ... ephaly.htmAnencephaly is a defect in the closure of the neural tube during fetal development. The neural tube is a narrow channel that folds and closes between the 3rd and 4th weeks of pregnancy to form the brain and spinal cord of the embryo. Anencephaly occurs when the "cephalic" or head end of the neural tube fails to close, resulting in the absence of a major portion of the brain, skull, and scalp. Infants with this disorder are born without a forebrain (the front part of the brain) and a cerebrum (the thinking and coordinating part of the brain). The remaining brain tissue is often exposed--not covered by bone or skin. A baby born with anencephaly is usually blind, deaf, unconscious, and unable to feel pain. Although some individuals with anencephaly may be born with a rudimentary brain stem, the lack of a functioning cerebrum permanently rules out the possibility of ever gaining consciousness. Reflex actions such as breathing and responses to sound or touch may occur.
Tell her it is game over, because that, if anything, demonstrates that there is a direct causal link between having a functioning forebrain and consciousness, if all people, according to her, have preprogrammed souls which generate consciousness, indpendent of the material brain, these anencephalics, it follows, must show consciousness, but they don't , therefore there cannot be consciousness independent of a material brain, and therefore the idea of an immaterial, independent soul that provides consciousness is turgid drivel of the most dimwitted order, in other words, paying attention to reality says SHE IS WRONG.
Shame the God- Bods NEVER listen .
She's been posting elsewhere, though.
