red supra tk society, according to British media reports, the University of Cambridge brain science brain science 博士亚德里安 Owen led the team found, through functional magnetic resonance imaging technology, a coma after a car accident two years later into a Video: vegetative through brain waves to communicate with the doctor Source: Guangdong TV The shock!
23 名 vegetative underwent brain scans
this major study, published in the latest issue of In the study by the University of Cambridge and University of Liege, Belgium, 3-year joint study, researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging technology, 23 to scan the brains of patients with persistent vegetative states to observe them for external stimulation the brain reaction.
study found that 23 patients can be like ordinary people do the whole turn of sleep and close to zero. According to the international medical community about the prevailing definition of vegetative state, they are already in a
29-year-old unconscious man, , such as tennis courts struggling to hit the ball; also imagine space scene, such as from one room into another room. And when they think of different problems, magnetic resonance imaging of the bright spots will appear in different brain regions.
most researchers alarmed by a 29-year-old man. The patient came from Liege, Belgium, in 2003, after a traffic accident, causing serious brain damage, coma for two years, and then into a
he can For example, when asked, Yes. The researchers asked a total of 6 similar problems, the scan results show that he actually got it 5.
vegetative state can choose their own destiny
Thus researchers believe that the patient is in This is the world's first scientists and
experts point out that once a vegetative state with a Cambridge University led the study, brain scientist Dr Adrian Owen, said: idea. Now, through this technology, and the drain can finally take the initiative to choose their destiny.
Prior to this, many patients enter a vegetative state have been euthanized. But the study, Dr. Owen proved 20% of the vegetative state after all, by some of the treatments can wake up, just a matter of time. Experts point out that an MRI scan will help doctors and patients to communicate, to carry out appropriate treatment and medication adjustments.
euthanasia has again sparked controversy
this major breakthrough but also lead to a fierce ethical debate over how to define the end of the vegetative life standards. March 2005, the U.S. women vegetative Terri Schiavo's right to life and death in the United States led to an unprecedented intense legal debate. Ultimately, the federal court ruling, the third removal of her feeding tube. People will ask, if the brain can be proved Schiavo perception persists, she will be sentenced to
this regard, the insight that: life and death of the watershed.
