I'll concede that the article shouldn't speak so authoritatively without more sources. We need good, medical sources here. [[User:DanH|DanH]] 18:57, 2 August 2007 (EDT)

"Many patients observed to be in a brain-damaged state like Terri's have surprisingly recovered". This quote is given with a source about a fireman who started speaking again after so long.
"There have been several other similar cases of brain recovery in the US.
Arkansas car accident victim Terry Wallis woke up two years ago after 19 years in a coma and began speaking to his family.
And Tennessee police officer Gary Dockery, paralysed and mute after a shooting in 1988, started speaking again eight years later. He died of a blood clot on the lung in 1997.
None of the victims was in a persistent vegetative state like Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged woman who died last month after her feeding tube was removed." This quote is from the source posted here on Conservapedia. Notice that it contradicts the article. Mainly the last line of the quote. Terri was in a PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE, these people listed in the article, were not. {{unsigned|Digitamer81}}
