Choose Life…  Researchers in Britain and Belgium have found that patients “thought to be in a persistent vegetative state showed brain activity indicating awareness, intent and, in at least one case, a wish to communicate.” This is a significant breakthrough in efforts to provide life-sustaining care for comatose patients. (NRL News, Feb-Mar, 2010)
