Oops

The two IP editors who've changed the wording of the "awareness of this and similar reflexes" sentence were right - I was getting my double negatives confused. Sorry! Olaf Davis (talk) 10:29, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Picture

Has permission been given to use the picture of this brain dead child? If that were my child, I would not want this image freely circulated. Jeffguhin (talk) 02:57, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please read the description of the file before asking. 83.22.84.4 (talk) 15:54, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can we use another video instead?

I find the video of a brain-dead kid inappropriate in this context. I understand that disturbing videos or images are sometimes necessary in articles about medicine, but here it's not at all necessary tu use a kid instead of an adult (possibly old). 37.102.121.83 (talk) 08:36, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to the original youtube video the male human is 19 years old (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nty6bICZlyA) so not a kid. 185.104.143.40 (talk) 17:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
