Wallis’ sudden recovery happened three years ago, but doctors said the same cannot be hoped for people in a persistent vegetative state, such as Terry Schiavo, the Florida woman who died last year after a fierce right-to-die court battle.

There was nothing left of her brain to rewire. This is a disingenuous comparison.

But this is great news and hope for people who want to hang in there.

Careful, my FRiend. There are adamant FReepers around who believe the Schiavo was living a happy life.

Well, there certainly wasn't after they murdered her.

Probably so, but within her lifetime there could have been technology developed to grow back parts or all of her brain. Such technology has already been accomplished in the lab.
