Sorry, but I SAID "near" and "almost." I see nothing in ANYTHING I have read that says Ahmed "was referring to 'eating unassisted.'" I gave you a quote from Ahmed and he said TO EAT. (no unassisted, no by himself, nothing but he hoped that Herbert would in the future be able TO EAT) If you cannot cite some sources for what you said, please do not bother me anymore because in all the reading I have done, I have seen NOTHING remotely related to what you are claiming and you have repeatedly given nothing but what are apparently your opinions, not facts with a source.
Fine. Say what you will. But then don't compare his condition to that of Terri's.
She wasn't "near" or "almost". She WAS in a PVS.
"you have repeatedly given nothing but what are apparently your opinions, not facts with a source."
That's a flat out lie. Retract it. I cited a source in my post #33. He was able to eat with assistance.
