"The problem to those not familiar with a vegetative state is that they think the person in that state in responding to them because there are facial gestures and eye following movememnt. In reality it is just a reflex action."

Is that like the 'fish don't feel pain' factoid? How could anyone know this to be true unless a person in a vegetative state woke up and told them, 'it was just reflexes when I smiled at you.' But that wouldn't help the kill terri crowd's case much, would it?

I am sorry you do not accept a medical fact as fact. A vegetative state is not a theoretical construct.
