Persistant Vegitative State….not so much?

I can’t wait for the pro-death crowd to spit and sputter about this one. Even more sad is that those fighting to keep Terry Schiavo alive, were saying the same thing last year.
Woman in Presumed Vegetative State May Be Aware
No doubt they will ‘pooh-pooh’ this report, just as they dismiss anyone who disagrees with them. ** update ** this didn’t take long
CAMBRIDGE, England, Sept. 8 — A woman thought to be in a persistent vegetative state showed evidence of awareness of herself and her environment in response to verbal commands, said researchers here.
“Death with dignity”? I think not.
“Despite fulfilling the clinical criteria for a diagnosis of vegetative state,” the authors wrote, “this patient retained the ability to understand spoken commands and to respond to them through her brain activity, rather than through speech or movement. Moreover, her decision to cooperate with the authors by imagining particular tasks when asked to do so represents a clear act of intention, which confirmed beyond any doubt that she was consciously aware of herself and her surroundings.”
How many more have to die before the “pro death” crowd stops destroying lives?
