ScienceDaily (Sep. 21, 2009) — Scientists have found that some individuals in the vegetative and minimally conscious states, despite lacking the means of reporting awareness themselves, can learn and thereby demonstrate at least a partial consciousness. Their findings are reported in the online edition of Nature Neuroscience.

...This learning requires conscious awareness of the relation between stimuli -- the tone precedes and predicts the puff of air to the eye. This type of learning was not seen in the control subjects, volunteers who had been under anaesthesia.

Individuals In Vegetative States Can Learn, Scientists Find.

Doctor Obvious of the Common Sense Institute interjected at this point..."Individuals In Vegetative States Can learn. That is until they receive obamacare, at which time they cannot. Because they are dead."

obozo responded by calling Doctor Obvious a racist hate monger and a jackass.

We should all tell our Congressmen that we want a bill that will protect people who are in the same situation as Terri Schiavo. I have already asked my US House Rep Cliff Stearns for his help. Everyone Please realize how important your voices are.

This has got to be devastating to the prochoice crowd that was so certain Schiavo was brain dead.
