A Defeat for Euthanasians

By CARY LEIDER VOGRIN
The Colorado Springs Gazette, May 25In December 2001, Cassandra Bryant got the lowest possible score on the Glasgow Coma Scale. After a horrible car crash, a doctor urged that she be taken off life support. Her injuries were extensive; neurologically, she registered as dead.
Wednesday, Bryant, 21, graduated from Palmer High School.
‘We didn’t think this day would come,’ said her mother, Cheryl Bryant. ‘They said there was no hope.’
After six months in a coma and another four years of rehabilitation therapy, Cassandra Bryant has relearned how to walk and write. She cannot speak clearly, although her family can understand what a stranger cannot. She also has extensive trouble with short-term memory.
God is good, all the time.
