The german link is incorrect. It links to Lazarus taxon rather than Lazarus effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.112.134.32 (talk) 02:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lazarus Effect on human bodies?

[edit]

In reading about the tragic child, Jahi McMath, who was recently declared brain dead, she seems to be having some type of clonic jerking that the family interprets as continued life while 'Net commentators say it's the Lazarus effect and a very ominous sign. Since I know better than to rely on "Netxperts", I came here (at least to peer-policed Netxperts), but this article doesn't mention how the LE relates to human bodies. Am I missing something?

Ah, ha! The 'Net posters made a slight mistake - it's Lazarus syndrome, not Lazarus effect, though from the article, it was a welcome event by the families involved, not ominous. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing in the hands of 'Net posters. Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 19:39, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
