This public bioethics forum examined the neurological, bioethical, and social implications of the case of Jahi McMath, who was diagnosed as brain-dead following complications from a tonsillectomy in 2013. Although she has been legally dead for several years, she continues to grow and develop, supported with tube feedings and a ventilator.
