This patient was deemed to be a vegetable and doctors had suggested that he should be taken off life support, and today these doctors have been proven wrong, once again. Sparked a huge debate on euthansia and assissted life support. Tomorrow I have a session euthanasia, looking forward to it.
Vegetative patient now able to give ‘thumbs up,’ fuelling debate over life support
A hospital patient deemed vegetative is now able to make a “thumbs up” gesture – a sign to family that he is aware, but not yet strong enough to persuade doctors to drop a recommendation to withdraw life support.
The case before the Supreme Court of Canada was begun by two doctors from Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Brian Cuthbertson and Gordon Rubenfeld, who saw no medical purpose in keeping Mr. Rasouli on life support and proposed shifting him to palliative care.
Help me to escape from this existence
I yearn for an answer... can you help me?
I'm drowning in a sea of abused visions and shattered dreams
In somnolent illusion... I'm paralyzed
