She's not in a vegetative state, that's one of the lies that Michael Shivo keeps spouting. She's just brain damaged, and unable to speak. She still respons to things, moves around, and can communicate in ways similar to a baby.
Sorry - you are deluding yourself - she is in a vegetative state - that is a fact. The reactions of her body that assume are akin to that of a baby is a condition of vegetative states - its an autoreflex.
