"And, pray that my daughter passes her test. If not, she'll go home and be with God,” Lawson said holding back tears.

It's ironic that many of us are more paranoid about what gets in our pets' mouths than these parents are about what their offspring shove into their pieholes.

I'm a cat lady, but I had a dog once for a few days (found his guardian and he went home). I know next to nothing about dogs, so I read up on the basics. I learned that the most important command to teach is "leave it," so that you can prevent the dog from swallowing something harmful, like a dropped pill. Anyway, the dog learned it in an afternoon. Are dogs that much smarter than toddlers?

My boyfriend has an African Grey parrot.
They can have intelligence similar to a 3-4 year old human.

I have an Amazon and I can vouch for this. He follows commands, understands good vs. bad behavior, and can even talk in context. This bird is probably more knowledgeable about what he should and shouldn't be chewing on than most toadlers.

I don't think it is a Jahi thing; the parents want to give her a chance because she was not declared brain dead. Docs think they are postponing the inevitable.

And even though this court decision was made earlier in the afternoon, Mirranda's father Patrick Lawson says he refuses to have doctors perform this test on his daughter without a court order.
In essence, tests to confirm Mirranda is brain dead will move forward, which is a devastating blow to the Lawson family, who are holding out hope the toddler will somehow recover.

"And she's going to have to take her test now,” But, in court, Dr. Doug Wilson, head of the pediatric critical care unit, testified **Mirranda is unresponsive and has no signs of brain stem function, which controls breathing.**
