What level of function would be acceptable to you for someone to be permitted to live in this situation, please?

My own father.

Frontal lobe gone from a severe stroke. We saw the scans. We had hope, and prayed the Doctors were wrong. But he has NEVER recovered from the damage.

In TWELVE years, he has never been able to utter a word or read or write even though we had him in Rehab and therapy.

He remains paralzed on his left side, and has no control over his bowels.

But he is still better off than poor Terri, and for that we are eternally grateful.

For every year that he spends like this, I have aged 10..
