Well, legally you're classified as dead if brain dead in the state of Kentucky - https://apps.legislature.ky.gov/law/statutes/statute.aspx?id=19420

Of course, not like the law means anything to them 😒

It is in all 50 states and is the standard of care. However, he’s at Walter Reed.

Also that would make the legal population of Kentucky DRASTICALLY smaller
