Answering that age-old question...

How close to brain dead can you be... and still manage to live and breathe?
-- BERLIN, Germany (AP) -- Police in southern Germany say they have removed a seven-month-old boy from his parents after they tried to sell him for one euro (US$1.57) over eBay.

Krumbach police spokesman Peter Hieber said baby Merlin has been put in care of youth services in the southwestern Allgaeu region and was doing well on Saturday.
On a brighter note... they didn't chuck him down a concrete staircase in the middle of winter and then run away.
