Though limited, the breakthrough suggested that more meaningful dialogue with patients in a coma could someday be possible. And now, two years later, it has finally happened. A Canadian man in a vegetative state has used his thoughts to tell scientists that he is not in any pain, marking the first time a patient in such a condition has relayed information relevant to their care. Quoting: Mordier L'eft [link to io9.com] He also 'told' his doctors to marry his wife and liquidate his property and keep the money for Christmas. |

Quoting: black calx Does that mean he has been immobilized and alone with his thoughts for the past 12 years?! My first communication would be "kill me now!!" All kidding aside, that's great news! Spirituality is the opposite of religion, religion is a substitute for spirituality. Spirituality is a direct connection to Creator The Most high. Anyone who inflicts pain on others will suffer themself from that pain. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. |
