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.

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.

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.

When my dad was dying, I never said anything unloving in his presence. I knew he could hear things.

Is it possible to write a book entitled:

“The Murder of Terri Schiavo”

without getting sued?

Jeb Bush was governor of Florida when the state allowed her husband to kill Terry Schiavo by starving her to death because she was “in a vegetative state.” She was expressive and animated, nothing as severe as this man’s case. We have not forgotten her and those who killed her by withholding water from her at the end, assuring the willfully ignorant that it was a “comfortable way to die.”
