摘要: Recent developments in functional neuroimaging have provided a number of new tools for assessing patients who clinically appear to be vegetative state. These techniques been able reveal awareness and even allow rudimentary communication some remain entirely behaviourally non-responsive. The implications these results extend well beyond the immediate clinical scientific findings influencing legal proceedings, raising ethical questions about withdrawal nutrition hydration providing options families that decision-making process. also motivated significant public discourse role neuroscience research society.
