Who’s Up For the Challenge?

CodeBlueBlogs, a multi-award winning blog has laid out the challenge.

He’s offered any neurologist/bioethicist involved in Terri Schiavo’s case who can accurately single out PVS patients from functioning patients with better than 60% accuracy only based on CT scans. He will provide 100 single cuts from 100 different patient’s brain CT’s. The neurologist simply has to pick the patients with PVS accurately 6 out of every 10 times. If the neurologist can be right 6 out of 10 times he wins the $100,000.

Why’s he doing it?

1) It is NOT as bad as the neurologists and bioethicists play it up to be; and,

2) There are many elderly patients with various levels of mental functioning who have severe atrophy that is difficult to distinguish from Terri Schiavo’s atrophy.

He’s putting his money where his mouth is. Any takers?
