The Daily Mail reports on a man who was “thought by doctors to be in a vegetative state for 23 years was actually conscious the whole time”.

The Althouse Vortex adds:

How terribly sad. The condition is unimaginable. All that time. What would you do with your mind as all those years passed? Wouldn’t you drift into hallucinations and dreams? Could you reach enlightenment? Or would you dwell on your plight endlessly and ache for the times when people would be around you talking, hoping someone would talk to you, read to you, do something.

As you will see, like all good Twilight Zone episodes, you must be careful what you wish for….:
