An Arkansas man has apparantly awoken from a 19 year coma.

This raises an interesting point – namely medical ethics. Now that it has been demonstrated that someone can recover from that length of time in a coma, will doctors be more prepared to keep coma patients on life support for longer periods of time?

On a lighter note, as the article mentions, back in the early Eighties, America lived in constant fear of being bombed, by a foreign power. Strange how things change isn’t it?
