Re: Vegetative state recovery
Very good point CraigD and one I meant to mention. The only reason for keeping anyone alive in that state is that is a chance in the future that they can return to normality and become as fully functioning as possible. If this isn't possible then why keep the shell alive, even if there is signs of consciousness? (Paralysed for ever but able to respond - a living hell without input, except TV - computer connection, might be more viable though: Perhaps there is an unconscious link within science, thinking of future man becoming robotic and brain transplants but this is the only sensible thought I can discover for keeping someone on a life support machine indefinitely and even then it's a bit morally dubious as this isn't just round the corner, except in science fiction (Dr Who and The Cybermen)
