Niglets obviously couldn't swim and Mother's claim to the contrary aside.
I'm shocked , shocked i tell you, for the idea of turning off life support after not even a week , just incredibly shallow and callous - no doubt some 'nice / empathetic medical professional' at the hospital advises them that 'hey, unfortunately - long term prognosis is grim, but what a coinky doink, their organs could go to save several lives - and they'll be remembered as hero's, however we need to move fast before we lose the window of opportunity - fresh meat while still warm an all that'.
Despite massive trauma the brain can be incredibly resilient - and given enough time - to heal and slowly rewire itself. I'm always mindful of firsthand stories of individuals from comas or life support that afterwards recount being able to hear everything going on around them despite various hospital tests alluding zero cognitive brain function, and being unable to say or move until many weeks / months pass.
Who knows in this actual case - but not even a week - ugh. Seems a common thing lately from reading similar stories of life support (the cost just makes it exceedingly difficult and untenable unless you have several hundred thousand dollars a month to throw at hospital specialists.)
