Right to die?: These incredible people found meaning in their lives, despite severe disabilities
Patient in Vegetative State for 16 Years May Have Been Aware The Whole Time
Astonishning and Inspirational,
May others learn from this ordeal
My mother-in-law knew a doctor’s wife who was in a coma for awhile, heard everything that was said in her presence. Including, the “nick names” they used instead of real names for the patients they considered vegetables: carrot, celery, etc. It was a horrible way to treat people.
Remarkable.
I’m going to look for an archived version
Thank you
The Death Culture loses another one!

Even if you thought he probably wasn’t aware of his surroundings, how much trouble would it have been to turn on something besides Barney.
Wow.
Amazing. Thanks for sharing this story.
Men and women created in the image of God, and called “vegetables” as though they weren’t. Horrible indeed.
Such dehumanizing names make it easier to dismiss, ignore, mistreat, and even kill them. All thanks to “modern medicine”.
I’m friends of and related to several nurses. Unfortunately, they can become quite jaded. Not all, but some.
I guess I missed the part where somebody was trying to kill him.
Thank you for this.
Some miss a lot.

Really frightful. So happy for the guy.
Someone send this to Jeb Bush
Maybe...and only Maybe...he might figure out what we are all upset about
You did not link to a source for this story.
Or is this one of those fanciful emails that seem too good to be true and are?
I would like to know the source. Please send it to me.
Frankly, the guy looks far too healthy to have been in a coma for the past 12 years.
Wow!
