It certainly is funny how the body tries not to let itself die, right?

At the moment, the woman is basically just a machine. She's incapable of any kind of higher thought. Her bodily processes still go because, as Cosmo said, her brain stem is still functioning, but nothing else. Herself and the machinery she's hooked up to have a lot in common.
