The interview was good but too short, and there was way too much Peterson case stuff first! But the main thing is, it did help keep people aware of Terri's ordeal not being over yet!

Please check out this case of a man in a "locked in" condition (alert wakefulness, paralysed but unable to speak) - HE WROTE A BOOK even though he can only BLINK ONE EYELID.

Locked-in Syndrome

A look at the achievements of some extraordinary people who suffer from this syndrome - which is a diagnosis applied to people who are able to demonstrate alert wakefulness but are paralysed and unable to speak.

Book mentioned in talk: THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY by Jean-Dominique Bauby and published by Fourth Estate, London.

Speaker: Assoc. Prof. Roger Rees, Director, Institute for the Study of Learning Difficulties, Flinders University of South Australia, Adelaide.
