In what family members are calling a miracle, a Buffalo firefighter is talking again after nearly a decade in a brain-damaged state.
Donald Herbert suffered severe injuries when a roof collapsed on him while he was fighting a fire in December 1995. The injury left him brain damaged and unable to speak.

Good thing they didn't take away water and food because then he'd only be euphoric instead of alive.....

The article doesn't give enough information, but it sure doesn't sound like he was in a coma.

What would be even more miraculous if the posts that begin this thread were not so damned predictable.
Take this quiz with me. It's only 1 question, and it's a True or False.
1) A coma is exactly the same thing as a persistent vegetative state. (T / F)

Maybe interviewer should brief him on the Terri Schiavo case, and broadcast his response?

These "miracles" happen all the time. If Culture of Death Judicial Tyrants like Felos or Greer were involved, this gentleman would have been murdered. Simple as that.

It's pointless trying to explain anything to these people.
To: bolingbroke
God Bless this man and his family. I know what you mean about the Schiavo case, although it might start a flame war to say so . . .

Thanks for your kind attempt at adding common sense to this thread, but, under the circumstances, it's simply pointless.

Arrogant condescension is such a wonderful substitute for ratiocination, don't you agree?
To: GWB00
Yeah, I bet you he is grateful he wasn't married to Michael Schiavo. For more reasons than one, I'm sure.
