Amazing news coming out of The Economist magazine, British and Belgian researchers have shown that patients in a vegetative state will respond to commands while in an MRI scanner. Studies are still in the early phases but results have shown small amounts of communication might be possible with loved ones who were considered brain dead.

Who are We
I loved this post - I have always said who are we to know what goes on in the minds of those who we consider vegetative.
I know this is where I love
I know this is where I love technology. I hope that these doctors have the funds to take the findings to new levels. Id actually donate.
The Real Question
The real question is whether this will change how policy and people respond to taking individuals off of life support when considered brain dead. Wow! Life is always changing.
