There is actually a SANE JUDGE out there (unfortunately, he's in England)!
Not to make fun of the ladies situation...but I could use that stuff at work...
Just let me go: I dont want to be only able to stand and clap my hands and I dont want to make paupers of my family by adding expense after expense in keeping me alive.
If I cant hold and speak to my grandkids let me get on to that place where I am at peace.
irony.
Sounds like the judge wants to use the woman to advance an agenda...where have we seen that before?
Zolpidem..........funny that it ends in Dem.Maybe the Dems should look into taking it en masse, it might wake them up. Never happen, forget I said that.
Zolpidem tartrate - aka Ambien. Pretty amazing that a sleeping pill can wake the brain dead.
Gee. How kind. With a little luck she can wake-up to the fact that she cannot move and will have to rot in bed until she dies.
As many FReepers already know, the above statement is false.
It has been proved via PET scans that PVS patients have intense, intelligent brain activity in response to recorded voices of loved ones. Great article on this topic: New York Times: What if there IS something going on in there?
...woman in a vegetative state should be allowed to die
There is no such thing as "allowing" PVS patients to die. PVS patients are not in extremis. You can cause them to die by starving and dehydrating them to death, sure. But "allow," no.

Which means that this article suddenly did a 180, first discussing a severely brain-damaged patient who is PVS, then a patient who is not, leading some to believe that the drug will have the same effect on both.
Shoddy, misleading journalism.
They might be able to tell us whether they were aware of what was going on around them while they were "PVS" or in "a coma."
That information could be useful for medical personnel who work with such patients. It could also be useful in determining whether PVS patients are aware when they are being mistreated by the staff.
April 15, 1989: Soccer fans crushed at Hillsborough
At least 93 football supporters have been killed in Britain's worst-ever sporting disaster. They were crushed to death at Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield during the FA Cup semi-final between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool.
The crush is said to have resulted from too many Liverpool fans being allowed in to the back of an already full stand at the Leppings Lane end of the ground.

Ambien is a very unusual and fascinating drug. It can do unusual things to a person with a normally functioning brain. There is a lot of evidence on the internet and I have personally experienced it. Instead of putting me to sleep, it made me stay awake and do things that I did not remember doing the next day (no sex jokes please, lol).
