The diagnosis is ambiguous in that symptoms of patients can vary greatly and still be called vegetative. A 1996 study published in the British Medical Journal showed that 43% of patients diagnosed with PVS do not qualify for the diagnosis. Yet the Culture of Death would prefer to euthanize them all.

Miracles do happen. Doctors don't know everything. That's why it's called PRACTICING medicine. Nobody is perfect.
Thank God for this, not medical science. Also send the story to Terry Schiavo's widow.

God's plan is greater than ours...including the mystery that sometimes the truth cannot be seen until it is written in the blood of a martyr...

I have that argument with my spouse. He thinks Terry (and others in the state she was) had no chance to "waking up" or having a better life.
I totally disagreed and still do.
Praise God for His miracles.

God's plan includes death at this point. Stop fighting Him and accept it.

Unlike the brain dead Terri, the kid was merely in a coma.

Unlike the brain dead Terri, the kid was merely in a coma. Terri was NEVER diagnosed as being brain dead by anyone. If she had been brain dead, she would have needed a ventilator and other life support systems. Terri died because the vultures decided to starve her and dehydrate her; if you or I were forcibly denied food and water, we would meet the same fate.
This boy was diagnosed as being in a "permanent vegetative state," Terri was said to be in a "persistent vegetative state" (I presume that the terms are synonymous).

I've always been curious about this diagnosis. If I recall, most often the diagnosis is made when the brain has been sufficiently damaged that recovery is not possible. Was that the medical diagnosis in this case?
Anyone have more details than the article provides?

"He thinks Terry (and others in the state she was) had no chance to "waking up" or having a better life. " Tell your husband that Terri WAS awake - she interacted with other people. I have a video that proves it - she was laughing with her father in it. He was asking her if she remembered how she used to tease her mother, and Terri said, Yeah, and laughed!!!!. SHE WAS NOT PVS!!!! But, they killed her anyway!
