We need to take a closer look at the wisdom of these medical decisions, which are all too often not based on sound scientific evidence but on the doctor's gloomy outlook for these severely disabled patients.  The following are some stories of patients who have recovered from comas. Recovery from Coma Is a Reality for Many Patients-  is the title of an article by Liz Townsend in  National Right to Life News , October 2001. The author reports on the work of Dr. Mihai Dimancescu, chairman of the board of the Coma Recovery Association.

Some patients in a coma are totally unaware whi

A boy who lost a large part of his brain to a brain tumor has recovered to a remarkable degree, the rest of his brain having rewired itself to compensate, researchers reported Tuesday. Surgeons removed a third of one entire lobe of Tanner Collins’ brain to stop seizures caused by a benign brain tumor when he was 6. With it went the entire visual processing center for his left eye. But the remaining part of his brain has adjusted, the team at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh reported in the journal  Cell Reports .
