An engineering student thought to be in a coma for 23 years was actually conscious the whole time, it has emerged.
I'd say that hacky pundits are going to use stories like this to further the DON'T PULL THE PLUG issue, skipping right over the fact that in every instance the GCS was apparently "wrongly assessed" or "graded incorrectly", but thankfully it happened in Europe which for the most part doesn't really exist.
Additionally, am I the only one that thinks this would be a great model for the future of the incarceration system? Can you imagine how it'd cut down on the cost? Instead of filthy, noisy cell blocks you'd just have row upon row of silent beds, warehouses full of them. No more paying prison guards, no more kitchens, no more worries about escapes, none of those practical concerns. Of course we'd have to sacrifice a few sundries like "we don't torture" and early release/parole but hey, if it was good enough for Superman it should be good enough for us, right?
