Gus > she should have been given the benefit of that doubt Sorry to bring this up again but I felt this recent article has lent support to my argument in favour of not exterminating Terri Schiavo. guardian.co.uk >>Ten years after a firefighter was left brain-damaged and mostly mute during a 1995 roof collapse, he did something that shocked his family and doctors: He perked up. ``I want to talk to my wife,'' Donald Herbert said out of the blue Saturday. Staff members of the nursing home where he has lived for more than seven years raced to get Linda Herbert on the telephone. It was the first of many conversations the 44-year-old patient had with his wife, four sons and other family and friends during a 14-hour stretch, Herbert's uncle, Simon Manka said. ``How long have I been away?'' Herbert asked. ``We told him almost 10 years,'' the uncle said. ``He thought it was only three months.'' News accounts in the days and years after his injury describe Herbert as blind and with little, if any, memory. Video shows him receiving physical therapy but apparently unable to communicate and with little awareness of his surroundings. Dr. Rose Lynn Sherr of New York University Medical Center said when patients recover from brain injuries, they usually do so within two or three years. ``It's almost unheard of after 10 years,'' she said, ``but sometimes things do happen and people suddenly improve and we don't understand why.'' << In other words, according to Dr Rose Scherr, he was in a Permanent Vegetative State. And had he lived in the US he would have been a candidate for the Soylent Green factory.
