My grandmother had a brain tumor. After surgery they said she wouldn't wake up for a week due to brain swelling. However, they warned us that she could still hear and understand. Apparently this is the norm for people in comas. I'm surprised the Italian doctors didn't know this.

This certainly proves that Doctor,s don,t know everything and they should never be allowed to play God.

"The doctors said that I wasn't conscious, but I understood everything and I cried in desperation," Crisafulli was quoted as saying in Italian media on Wednesday.

Bet he cried to be released from his prison. What a true nightmare.

Schiavo wasn't comatose. You're comparing an American apple to an Italian orange.

"end-of-life solutions" I thought Reuters would be more careful about using the word solutions. Didn't that German Chancelor from the 30's and 40's have ideas about 'solutions' too.

Here we go. The folks feeling guilty over doing-in a loved one are now going to jump in this thread and try to debate away their guilt-panged sleepless nights.

I didn't respond to that post. I believe that Terri was more aware of what was happening to her than a comatose patient.

He was in a deep coma, they say. Facts are lacking--did anyone do an EEG?
