139571 2003-04-29 06:30:00 > i just red on www.stuff.co.nz that his life support
> got turned off which is pretty gay

Why is it gay? That seems a tad disrespectful! I think it's dreadful :(

139572 2003-04-29 06:39:00 life support is a very controversial thing.

The two sides of the arguement is:

You should not keep the person alive only because the ventilator breathes for them, and drugs keep their heart beating, because it's morally incorrect.

The other side of it is:

We have the technology such as life support to help keep people alive, and we can hope that it will give the body enough time for it to heal.

I know now is not a very good time to start discussion on this issue, but it's just factual information I though might be interesting at this particular time.

139573 2003-04-29 07:39:00 He isn't dead yet, and he is a fighter, even though it doesn't look good. But thoughts and best wishes go to his family and friends, as well as team mates. supergran (108)
139574 2003-04-29 07:45:00 I'll second those sentiments Supergran. Pheonix (280)
139575 2003-04-29 11:04:00 when there life support gets turned off can they still live? hazza (2704)
139576 2003-04-29 11:35:00 well depending..
his brain mite still be functioning...well the not damaged parts...
and since no o2 would be going in...if they taken oxegyn off too..
then they cant say ur dead till ur brain is not going...and ur heart actually stops..

what life support does is actually keep ur heart beating and ur brain going and o2 going thru...

so i would say give or take 48 hours then yeah...

but i know some cases ppl actually die straight away...but remember he was in a coma too..

I really apologise if i am wrong at all.,.i just going from what i see or hear thru the media

139577 2003-04-29 12:03:00 He was alive last time I heard. -=JM=- (16)
139578 2003-04-29 20:41:00 He passed away this morning...

Its really weird how he crashed when he wasn't in a rally...I always thought that rally driving would be more risky than everyday driving...

anyway, he will be missed...
