This wonderful story demonstrates that being diagnosed PVS does not mean necessarily that one will never wake up, and indeed, that one will not again become interactive. Christa Lilly woke up after 6 years in a diagnosed unconscious condition, and is now telling her story on television!
Imagine, if Lilly’s family had decided to dehydrate her to death instead of caring for her. Bioethicists and the media would merely written her off as another “death with dignity.” Instead, she is alive, kicking, and talking to the media.
Will we gain any wisdom from this “miracle?” Nope.
