It is not over yet, look at these physicians speaking out!!!
"My colleagues and I followed a cohort of 27 persons who remained in the locked-in state for more than one year.2 Their five-year survival rate was 81 percent. The cohort includes a person who remains alive 18 years after injury.2 I am aware of a few patients with this syndrome who died only after they chose not to be treated for treatable medical conditions. I suspect many of the patients in the studies cited by the Multi-Society Task Force may have died as a result of conscious or subconscious neglect by care givers or a decision by their families not to have them treated."
Anyway it all right there on the page, the debates Wesley speaks of in his book as taking place outside the public eye.
