Fucking Meme flag nigger kike fuck off.

>wake me up

>he was paralyzed the entire timr but concious

absolute hell. I'd ask for the doctors to pull my plug

He couldn't speak because he was paralyzed numbnuts.

In suffering but cant ask to die

>links to young Turks on Sup Forums

Why

Wrong, you can use your eyes to blink to communicate with locked in syndrome retard. Go look it up.

>nobody making any rape jokes ten posts in
What has Sup Forums become.

people think they know things. they dont know fucking anything

They didn't think to look at his eyes since they assumed he was in a coma numbnuts. Did you watch the video, they thought he was unconscious. Besides if you have TLIS or Total Lock in Syndrome you can't even blink or move your eyes.

What type of rape joke could be made in this situation

What the hell does that mean?

Locked in syndrome is fucking hell on earth, I would seriously do everything I could to end myself if that happened

Hoooooold my breath as I wish for death.

Well it looks like he had a unfortunate happy ending! :D

life is determined by brain activity and not by heart. most people would make fun of him or worse. thinking nobody is home. well he's home all right. and your life will be a living hell in here and now or in heaven or hell if you bop around like most potatoes thinking comatose people are vegetables. is it hard? it's right. is it popular and easy? it's wrong

what if he dreamed of being awake

And what was that? He's still paralyzed

And that is exactly..... nothing. If you're lucky you can blink

The only people around him were nurses and doctors and visiting family members. I doubt they talked bad about him there.

he'd just recall all the assholes back to you

no fucking shit. everyone fucking knows that comatose patients are conscious.

they did

nope

>fake news from 2009

wow gay, thanks

fuck off, Canesten

Was waiting for that... not disappointed

This is exactly why you should set up an advance directive. I have mine set to discontinue all life support in cases os a coma or terminal illness.

retard

Can he sue?

agreed. would never want to be a veggie or a glow in the dark cancer nigger

what happened to her pol

for what

>glow in the dark cancer nigger
do you want to catch cancer? keep talking like that

shoop

well if I did, I'd off myself. it's a terrible fate

well that sucks
get well soon

>waaaaa im suffering kind of
>hands soul permanently unto satan
k

a homo know how to get ass-cancer
go die of GRIDS.

Paralysis doesnt take your voice. Head injury lack of Oxygen to brain etc will cause but not paralysis. Paralysis can be from C4 spinal cord injury down anything higher will kill you. Anything C4 or above you would have to be intubated as you would not be able to breathe on your own.

Jewish doctors?

complete fucking nothing. i dont even need to reply

Thread Theme: youtube.com/watch?v=aSNJ00iAZ7I

so the guy been scream im live but nobody listen because coma. this is creep. im vote socialist now

Wasn't there a paralyzed guy who everyone thought was brain-dead but later found out he was fully conscious? I remember he was forced to watch 24/7 runs of Barney.

If he could blink you think that he would communicate like that you fucking shill, no he could not blink

horrifying

wasn’t that an episode on House

this.
>body is basically prison at this point.

That must be very boring for him. He needs entertainment to entertain his mind. Like sex. It's the best form of entertainment. I bet he misses sex so much.

His girlfriend needs to have sex with a big black guy on top of him so he can feel the in and out thrust and at the same time hear her girlfriend's moaning up close. He just have to imagine it's him doing it with his girlfriend.

And when the sex is over, they need to spread the semen and vagina juice all over his mouth, lips, and nose, so he gets to taste and smell the smell of sex in the morning.

So it's an ultimate virtual reality experience for him because all of his senses were involved. Sense of touch (in and out thrust), smell, sound, and taste. All that's missing is the sense of sight. They should duck tape his eyes open so he gets to see them have sex on top of him.

No i just learned this and i think most people think they are unconscious

Keeping him alive

I don't understand

You've never heard the song "One" before?

How? I don't want to be a vegetable you fucking cretin. It's my life.

Dude, he got in the accident when he was 19, he never had sex before.

No

The takeaway from this is that all coma patients should be checked periodically for brain activity, and those who can't should have audiobooks and music piped to them for most of the day. If I am ever in a coma I want you guys to come and visit me please. I would also like some animal friends in my room to keep me company and some scented candles.

The Jews did this

thelastpsychiatrist.com/2009/11/man_in_coma_for_23_years_not_i.html

Makes me think of Johnny got his gun. Fucking great film.

Damnit my bonner for this based woman just got a tad soft.

Was the nurse jerking him off that one scene?

>imagine being unable to express yourself for 23 years and everyone assuming you're in a vegetative state
sounds a lot like life as a right-winger in america

If god exists, he tortured this man

You are a fucking faggot dude.

>Worry about his soul
>Take it in the ass

or I could just pull the plug and not have to suffer until I die normally

youtu.be/WM8bTdBs-cw

I wouldn't need to suffer through this because my father is the biggest Jew to have ever existed and would pull the plug within 24hrs even though he's fucking loaded.

Do you need someone to talk to?

Shameful for not identifying awareness of Rom Houben.
Science is still in it's infancy.

Only if that person is female and willing

Underrated

That's certainly your option but I would rather spend 23 years bored then get on with my life.

I'll add that this isn't really any worse than what we do to prisoners.

Imagine the pain he no doubt went through from all the poking and prodding, and mentally. Reminds me of Johnny got his gun, but this guy had his arms and legs.

>french

This guy remained paralyzed. He's still trapped in his body. You cannot even do anything you love and enjoy in such a condition. It's a fate far worse than death

WAKE ME UP (WAKE ME UP INSIDE)

That must have been horrible.

I can't even begin to imagine what he went through.

Iktf still fuck you guys.

>Haven't learned morse code yet
>Get put into paralysis
>Can only blink
>Can't blink out "KILL ME"
>20 years pass
>Learn morse and off yourself
>Fuck up and end up back in paralysis
>Blink out "PULL THE PLUG" to your doctor
>Doctor doesn't know morse
>Die of old age

>awake for 20 years
How the fuck could you do that? I wouldn’t last a week doing absolutely fucking nothing.

Honest question

Couldn't you just hold your breath until you die? I mean it would be a horrible awful way to die but fuck it, 20 years of that shit

I bet he disagrees with you.

Hold my breath as I wish for deaths

try not being able to hold your breath to die on the life support machine

Google the story and stop watching retarded TYT videos, faggots.

It's fake. A caregiver was writing the messages about saving them to his device. When scientists went to communicate with him by himself they couldn't replicate it.

No

How? The guy can't communicate at all. It turned out to be a hoax.

I swear you pro-lifers are some of most cancerous and insufferable people to exist.

>story from 2009

are you the guy in the coma?

Bioethicist Jacob M. Appel of New York University has suggested that the case may be either "a matter of wishful thinking", or "a cruel and manipulative hoax" that will be used by political conservatives in their public relations campaign against the right to die.[9]

The method used to allegedly communicate with Houben is known as "facilitated communication",[7] which the Association for Behavior Analysis International, the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and the American Association on Mental Retardation have called a "discredited technique", the use of which is "unwarranted and unethical".[8] Skeptics, including PZ Myers and James Randi, contend that facilitated communication does not involve actual communication with the disabled, but rather with the people playing the role of the "facilitator".[16] Randi writes that claims of Houben's facilitated communication amount to a "cruel farce."[10] Video footage shows the "facilitator", Linda Wouters, holding Houben's hand as his finger is being used to type at a rapid pace, even though the subject appears to be slumped over with his eyes closed.[17] Neurologist Steven Novella argued that there was "little doubt" that Houben's typing is the result of bogus facilitated communication.[11]

Additionally, Arthur Caplan, a bioethics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, has claimed that the statements Houben allegedly made through his facilitator seem unnatural for someone disabled and unable to speak for decades.[13][18] Through Wouters, Houben is quoted as saying "Now I can communicate and talk via facilitated communication. Not everyone believes in this form of communication. It is a controversial method but, for me, it is vital to life. At last, my views can be heard and my feelings expressed."[19]

you mad your dad wouldn't pay for that gender studies degree?

>wahhh wahh i believe in satan

I want transcripts now.

Before you go go

Fucking lazy piece of shit

That is the worst suffering I have ever heard of Thank you user.

Landmine!
Has taken my sight!
Taken my speech!
Taken my hearing!

*guitar solo*

You should you plebian. The elites certainly do.
youtu.be/zW5gklIKcDg

this world is hideous.

somewhere in existence is a creatire that knows only suffering and cannot end and we all know it.

Sorry for not rtfa but it's nightmare fuel. He should probably have his brain scanned and be asked to think about some recognizable pattern if he wants to die. That's probably in the article too.

LOL, could at let people experiment on him or make some porn.
