Certainly donations more so in the beginning probably ensured their survival & set up in NJ & for the apartment. This is one of the main reasons they are under stress. As the Wired article states it will tell us more about the brain (and more about the tests). So I understand the parents of Jahi, however this girl is dead and at first I thought they would eventually let her go after they grieved and gave themselves extra time but it has been 3 years now and going by the mom behavior she's either in serious denial that she needs psychological help or she's profiting. some versions also have it that Jahi was not supposed to be speaking and that the family was posting on social media that she was talking and laughing.

[32][33], On December 24, 2013, Judge Grillo ruled that McMath was legally dead,[34] basing his decision on the medical evidence presented by physicians from Children's Hospital Oakland and from independent expert Paul Fisher, but ruled to require the hospital to continue mechanical ventilation until December 30, 2013,[32] later extending this order until January 7, 2014. Nailah isnt a qualified assessor. The truth is if you convince yourself of something long enough, you eventually believe it's true. [34] McMath's mother argued that applying the Uniform Determination of Death Act to the case was a violation of constitutional religious and privacy rights[35] and that because Jahi's heart was still beating, she was still alive. Now they claim she is playing a piano. she's not just mostly dead, she's go through her pockets and look for loose change dead. But in those videos she doesn't look "dead".
