The following was posted to another listserve by a recent college grad, female,

be a case of an omitted word between "are" and "that" - such as "agreed" - but
maybe not.
>>>> [O]f the doctors who have access to Schiavo [sic] and her full medical
history and are not affiliated with either side (ie court appointed), they all
are that she is in a persistent vegetative state, severely brain damaged (her
cerebral cortex is filled with spinal fluid), and has no hope of recovery. <<<<
