After all the hoopla about Terri’s death in 2005, researchers at the University of Ontario have proven that vegetative-state patients can communicate. And not just wiggling a finger. Stick them in an fMRI and watch the monitors light up with answers to direct questions. They’re even working on portable EEGs for family members to re-establish communication at home.
Makes you wonder if Terri’s husband regrets putting her down.

Wow, and to think I thought this was pure fiction when I saw it on TV’s Perception!
i bet he does regret it.or maybe not…didn’t he have some girl he wanted to marry? he has to be wondering if she was witnessing the hoopla about pulling the plug on her. that had to be pure sheer terror! that thought makes me hope that she wasn’t mentally aware.
I know, right? And yeah, he had some side fling going on, complete with a couple of kids. Somehow the courts ruled that this didn’t cause a conflict of interest. Gotta love our ‘justice’ system.
