Sadly, Terri Schiavo was unavailable for comment. (Not meant in disrespect but in honor of someone who was tortured to death.)

"A standard brain scanning technique is showing promise for helping doctors distinguish between patients in a vegetative state and those with hidden signs of consciousness."

Yeah......It's called wallet full / wallet empty syndrome.

The facilitating torturers, the Brothers Bush, declined to comment.

PS: "They did all they could for her" never flew.

Nor all those who have been declared brain dead and heard their docs harvesting their organs. I wonder if they use sedatives before they harvest those or just think the person can’t feel anything?

Patients in a vegetative state have open eyes and show periods of sleep and wakefulness, but they are unaware of themselves or others and unable to think, respond or do anything on purpose. Patients in a minimally conscious state show only intermittent and minimal signs of awareness of themselves or their environment.

ALGore?

“Patients in a vegetative state have open eyes and show periods of sleep and wakefulness, but they are unaware of themselves or others and unable to think...”

A ludicrous statement. Since nobody on this planet possesses psychic powers to see into the mind of someone in this condition, we can’t possibly have any idea what they are aware of or whether they think.

Misdiagnosis does happen, especially when bedside exams are used in determining whether someone is in a vegetative state. Just a few instances I found on FR after a quick google search.
