Baby Isaiah revisited

I'd like to revisit quickly the Baby Isaiah case again to respond to a comment made on my previous post on the subject. Somebody posted a comment and said that the term "brain dead" was never used in the article I linked. I have seen other articles on this case that do use this term, such as this one:

Nevertheless, if in fact Isaiah is not brain dead, why remove the ventilator? It is not relevant whether he would be able to live a normal life. If he is alive he is entitled a chance to live with the assistance of a ventilator.
