New Signs of Awareness Seen in Some Brain-Injured Patients
"Dr. Bernat said findings from studies like these would be relevant to cases like that of Terri Schiavo, a Florida woman with brain damage who has been kept alive for years against her husband's wishes. In that case, which drew the attention of Gov. Jeb Bush and the Legislature, relatives of Ms. Schiavo disagreed about her condition, and a brain-imaging test - once it has been standardized - could help determine whether brain damage has extinguished awareness."
Thanks for the ping, OfF. This development is similar to the new realistic images of unborn children available to their future parents. The more we can see people as human, with feelings and thoughts, the more we can help them and possibly heal them. God bless Drs. Fin and Hirsch.
