Two patients were even able to answer questions for two hours. These types of breakthroughs highlight how doctors are misdiagnosing them as “persistently vegetative.” This is a term I detest because we don’t call humans vegetables. Wesley said, “Gee, treating these disabled people as people rather than as “dead” or human “nonpersons” for organ harvesting. What a concept.” And I totally agree.
