Apparently, new research shows that people previously thought to be in a vegetative state can respond to questions “in a funny way” by being prompted to think of things as a way of answering the questions. The scientists get the answer by looking at brain scans. Buried in the news article was a sentence which I’ve summarised as this post’s title:
You see, even though the person is vegetative (i.e. half-way to being dead), they can still hear and think – but are not aware that they are doing so! I don’t think I can see anything that’s more bizarre. It’s a kind of dream. For a worst case scenario, consider hearing your relatives talking about switching your machines off. To you, you see it as a dream – or as a witness to a film. In a film you see horrors and niceties, but are always aware that it’s a film. In the vegetative state, you see horrors and niceties, but are never aware that it’s real.
- and it implies that many judicial cases could be on the way. What price a life? It also shows that the gap between life and death is an even fuzzier one than we imagine, or legally define, in this land. Amazon Related:

Random Post: Somerset HQ Weekend Course Posted on 20:07, September 23rd, 2007 by StrangelyHad a fantastic 2-3 days in Taplow Court at the UK SGI headquarters so thanks to all who organised it, turned up or gave daimoku. We had much to inspire us. Somehow we seemed to get loads of heavyweight dudes to give us lectures of the highest calibre. I now have got a (loan) Gohonzon for me and the house now that is in Africa with the other one. Also, in the shop, I bought a nice new, bigger bell, which has a lovely sound and has had the desired effect of making my prayers for the dead more solid by process of being less distracted by the different timbred plinks that came from the other one. The entertainments on Saturday were up to their usual standard. Two unexpected highlights for me were the trombone playing of Una which was fantastic in the natural reverb chamber of the canteen, and the witty banter of Duncan that had tears of laughter running down my face. I’ve now decided that Duncan is half Buster Keaton and half Buddy Holly and half Ronnie Corbett. See! 50% extra! I had an interesting (but drunken) chat with Jiri who’s a bit of a whizz with design (and languages). Pretty good posters The grey one with the blood tears coming from the models’ eyes is pretty effective. It’s all very Czech and central-powers gloom! A bit like Dale (a former Bridgwater member who moved to the Czech Republic) here. Finally, here are a few snaps I took in the Saturday free time. I think there should be a caption competition. Johnny Mars, a being at ease, with some others…”More beings at ease!” And Finally, these are for me an’ Johnny from Hugh Cornwell’s gig in Bridgwater. He knows what I mean. Bandwidth limitations mean there are more photos of the bass player than of the ageing rocker. Funnily enough, Holly who generally played bass in Crawling Chaos also used to wear skirts a lot on stage and it never did any of us any harm. Amazon Related:
Related Posts by Tags Lockerbie Crater IntroductionLast April (9 months ago), I contrasted the sling and arrows of fortune as they applied to an admitted mass-murderer and one convicted of mass murder who always protested his innocence. (see Megrahi and Calley Compared and Contrasted) Now, fully 9 months after the wholesale shock in the West at Megrahi’s early release (the personal recollectionally-challenged Vice-president Clinton was notable in her non-charitable words about all this), the journalists at the BBC have seen fit to look at the matter more closely. (see ‘Flaws’ in key Lockerbie evidence)
ResearchAnother ‘expert’ has decided that there was no way that a crucial piece of evidence could have survived the bomb blast. More importantly, the evidence wasn’t examined correctly and was just assumed to be “the bit that everyone was looking for”. For me, the absolute key piece is that Megrahi was identified by someone in Malta who did not like him, several months after the bomb blast and even longer than after he’d met him!!! In all the cases of identification evidence, this has to be the most shoddy and flimsiest I’ve ever seen!!! But the big questions are:
Of course, someone still did the heinous deed. It just wasn’t Megrahi, that’s all. But we all know where the solution lies. Possibly Related Sites
