Serving the Gospel of life thus means that the family, particularly through its membership of family associations, works to ensure that the laws and institutions of the State in no way violate the right to life, from conception to natural death, but rather protect and promote it.

"And to think that some doctors said that it was all useless and that he would be dead in three, four months."

Amen! Because this man is lucky enough to have a caring family, he will improve. Maybe he won't be the same, but I believe that he will conquer his disabilites with the help of his family.

This is very scary, when you think about it.

You're right. Terri wasn't comatose, she was aware and awake. Just knock it off...

[bboop]

Perhaps because he was in a coma for two years they were projecting long-term. A week/ your grandma's surgery, that is one thing, a short objective. As a coma drags on and on and the doctors don't see improvement or hope, I imagine one sees it so differently.

"You're right. Terri wasn't comatose, she was aware and awake. Just knock it off..."

You're delusional. Terri hadn't enough brain to be aware or awake. The Terri supporter's zeal on this site is almost cultish.

Yes, anyone who doesn't agree with you is obviously delusional.

Our understanding was that the length of time did not matter. She was on a floor with other patients who were also in comas..not due to surgery. In fact, we were there one evening when a young man, who had been in a coma for several months as a result of a motorcycle accident, "woke up". That is one of the reasons the nurses and such were so conscientious about telling us that people can hear in comas. We were visiting with families in the rooms of our various loved ones throughout the days. I really don't buy the idea that the Italian doctors didn't know this.

Amazing story!

And evidence that only the Lord knows His plan for our life, and its timeline.

"Yes, anyone who doesn't agree with you is obviously delusional."

Anyone who chooses to ignore basic science is delusional.

In coma for 2 years, patient says he heard all

Italian man awoke after being declared nearly dead by doctors

Salvatore Crisafulli's mother, Angela, kisses her son at his home in the Sicilian city of Catania. Crisafulli emerged from a deep coma, caused by a 2003 road accident, three months ago but only began speaking recently.

Nice picture Coleus.

at his home in the Sicilian city of Catania

For a minute, I thought that said "the Sicilian city of Catatonia."

Wonderful that the young man is recovering.

[Salvation]

Ping!

My mother also had a brain tumor, and had the same experience. She has recounted conversations that the nursing staff had, including dirty jokes they told. Trust me, my mother didn't imagine dirty jokes. She was a Dean of Women at a Christian College.

Thanks for the great story.

It seems that doctors are ALWAYS giving up.

[MHGinTN]

"It's like giving a bottle to a newborn baby who can't be nursed by its mother ..." Sadly, the term 'newborn' means nothing to the advocates for killing the inconvenient. It is a proven fact that the almost born are no different from the newborn, but the death advocates cancel the life of the preborn for the convenience and empowerment of killing them off to avoid responsibility. And what more godlike act is there than the power to kill at whim, for the lieberal mindset. Changing that perspective is impossible ... for man, but we may pray God will do it for those not lost to their selfishness.

Prayers offered up for this man's full recovery.

Pity Terri didn't have that chance.
