Richard Rudd was in a comatose state and hooked up to life support when they pulled the plug. But then Richard Rudd blinked and they realized that he could hear and feel but he couldn't speak.
After realizing that he could blink they asked him if he wanted to live and he answered with blinks. . . he did.
This story will possibly cause an uproar for people who are in a vegetable state and hooked up to life support. How does a person know when the plug should be pulled? How do you deal with the guilt of keeping someone alive when they would be better off dead but how would you deal with the guilt of pulling the plug when there's a possibility of that person living.
Many bloggers write as to whether or not they support the idea of pulling the plug. In the end it depends on the situation and the family.
