damn poor guy. reminds me of that guy from the metallica video "One"

ForeverNever · #3 (**permalink**) 11-23-2009, 06:39 PM

I could not imagine that. and according to the article it's predicted to happen to a lot more people.

I'm surprised he's still sane (or at least half-sane). 23 years of pure solitude with nothing but the company of your own conscience. Damn..

Dear God, can you imagine? 23 years laying in a fucking bed, knowing that you are "alright", while doctors don't think so...

**wakkaoaka** · #6 (**permalink**) 11-23-2009, 10:08 PM

How the hell is he still rational? 23 years... that's more than my lifetime so far. And to think that 40% of coma's could be similar...

I feel bad for the guy...that would be the worst form of prison imaginable

Yeah I was always wondering what a horrible death it must be to bury you alive... but I think this is even worse.

awful boring

Wow -- that must have been hell for all those years. Can't help but feel sorry for the guy.

Just imagine that you didn't know all that.
And you still thought fluorescent track suits were cool.
At least he has never heard the backstreet boys, or the spice girls.

Its not saying he hasn't heard of them...he has heard a lot of things. Imagine all the things he HAS heard from people around him. Secrets, lies, or just common BS that everyone talks about.

And it is in the UK, he has never lived without the USSR as a world power. There are to many things to list that he never got to experience.

I like the reference to the "One" video by Metallica.

It states it is possible to re-open the question of termination of life as an option to those found with brain activity. But then the question is would you really be okay with spending 23 years in an inactive purgatory rather than just cutting your losses?

I don't think 23 years of that would produce anything of a person afterward. Worth it?

It's like he traveled through time!

Poor bloke, that has to be one of the worse nightmares. Reminds me of the Metallica One video and lyrics.
