Careful what you say when you think no one is listening.

“I screamed but there was nothing to hear.”
-abortion, the silent scream

I wonder if his vote was cast in the last election. I can hear someone from the SEIU or ACORN whispering in his ear…”Vote Obama, Vote Obama” and bringing him an absentee ballot…

He was probably screaming “Turn off MSNBC!!!” and no one heard him

God Almighty. What horror, what hell this poor man went through. It’s unfathomable. If only he’d been in America, his ordeal would have ended long ago. I can’t imagine the guilt his family must feel, even though they are not to blame whatsoever. And I can’t imagine the rapturous joy he must feel today being able to finally communicate. God Bless him. God Bless America.

P.S.
I’m glad this was shown on [PMS]NBC – maybe some lefties will see what they are seeking to destroy.

Kind of eye-opening, isn’t it, the sheer lack of comments on this story? I wonder what our friends in the ‘tolerant, diverse’ left wing will say, about this?

We are all in a coma.
We scream at our politicians yet they don’t hear us.

Here in America, there’s a push for the “end of life” preparation crap where some medical profs. are advocating that someone in horrific condition except they will die horribly so the best thing is to ease them into the afterlife.

Well this guy’s story is proof that NO ONE has the authority to decide when a person goes. If the goal wasn’t to help someone with an extreme medical condition, why take them to a hospital to begin with? Hospitals should be more about preserving life/fighting for it.

may be the closest a living person can come to experiencing death and eternity…

Ellie! LE! Tech Support!

I would rather be dead then living like that for 23 years.

By the way, he was NOT in a coma. That was an incorrect diagnosis.

“But at what point do you say, neurologically, I will do a scan, I’ll keep checking things on people who have been in, you know, locked in for a long period of time, especially, frankly when we’re talking about how to…to spend healthcare dollars.” Dr. Nancy

Wow! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside. This is the future of healthcare, folks. Hope you don’t get sick.

Doctors “practice” medicine. If it wasn’t for science the PET scan would not exist and he would still be considered in a coma or already dead. And PS, there was consensus that he was in a persistent vegitative state or a coma and we all know that when experts reach consensus they must be right! Now take that thought and apply it to other claims made by experts who have reached a “consensus”. good luck…

The doctors, husband and judges in the Terri Schiavo case should be investigated for possibly committing murder.

She said “frankly, how to spend healthcare dollars”. In other words, this man would be put to death after Obama gets his healthcare bill passed. This is not up to man. Death should always be decided by God almighty. This nation is doomed if this bill passes..

What did the chick at the beginning of this clip say? A case for the right to die? Is she saying that this guy is an advocate for choosing to die? What? Maybe she should volunteer to go first? I hate MSNBC. It’s easy to walk away emotionally from someone who’s been in that state for awhile? Apparently she is NOT a mother. Now she is advocating Obamacare? Am I hearing this wrong? Please tell me that this woman is not advocating the death panel and Obamacare while talking about this poor man? We all die? She’s making it sound like she’s an expert at it. I’d like to see her face when she’s in a car hurtling off the side of a cliff and she and she is awaiting her impending death. If she survived, I think she might just have a different attitude.

I love the way this woman accuses Senators of acting in an uncalled for manner in regards to Terri Schiavo after discussing this man’s case. If anything this man’s case proves that the Senators may have acted correctly in trying to protect Schiavo because she may have been more aware of her surroundings than people thought. Schiavo’s case was not one where they disconnected a ventilator of an unresponsive person; they literally starved the woman to death by denying her food and water. Basically the “experts” don’t have a clue. Also, if you think the government is going to pay to keep someone alive who is no longer contributing to society financially you are kidding yourself. Under Obamacare this man would have been dead a long time ago.

How much has it cost to keep this man alive this long? Did his family pay it? My bet is no. For value given what does he contribute. Could this money have been better spent on a life that has a chance of growing and contributing ex;liver transplant for a young child. For me this is the equivalent of builing a space station to house one individual while allowing 50 potential valuable contributors to drift around him in little lifeboats.

Jenny did you just say let the poor starve they are wasting resources that would be better used by productive people?

This is complete BS – watched mom’s hand over hand typing – “facilitated communication’ was debunked years ago. Sad, but it’s worse to be exploited.

Jenny– He has contributed a GREAT DEAL by his ordeal. Every life is precious.
When you judge the ‘value’ of others it calls into question your own.

Shiori

‘If only he’d been in America, his ordeal would have ended long ago.’

Brussels is in Europe, Shiori. Do you know where Europe is? It’s not exactly the third world. It is also the capital of the EU, so you can be sure that their medical system is pretty good. There is no mention anywhere in this report that he would have been in a different condition in the US. In fact I ask myself if in a system that is almost 100% privatised he would have been allowed to carry on just lying there taking up some good old profit for the US system.

This is how medicine is practiced in Europe, the home of state sponsored health care. As the video said, he was misdiagnosed for 25 years.

If you want the same style treatment, just let Congress and Obama pass health care with the “public option”. That will bring us all the same type of incompetently practiced health care as this poor man.

Notice how she asked him how we will justify treating people like this with limited “health care dollars”. In other words, “How much will we invest in a person like this when there’s rationing?” You keep decision making in the family by having a living will and by never ever allowing the government to take over health care. Once it’s in the government’s hands, you have no recourse.

Obama care: Stupid is as stupid does

As someone said above, this looks like the fraud of facilitated communication.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facilitated_communication

This would be a non-story under Obamacare’s progressive leftist medicine. Rom Houben would have been unplugged and killed long ago, regardless of the choice of his family.

For it is written:
“A complete life is one that contributes in thought and action to the instrumental value principles of the greater community.”
“Saving the most socially useful”
“the complete lives system assumes that, although life-years are equally valuable to all, justice requires the fair distribution of them.”

How can it be that this has support. It is communist.
Rationed health care means Death Panels.

Every life is precious however what about the people living on death row? They are sucking up our tax dollars, they are not productive and they are creating lots of carbon dioxide, I’d like to see someone make a commercial about death row inmates falling from the sky and splattering to their deaths. Is this a messed up system or what? The Biased Media caster feels that this man should have been let starve to death because he’s a waste of resources but I bet she would be one protesting the electric chair for someone who deserved it. Same with babies, it’s OK to slaughter innocent babies but not so good to put men who willfully killed innocent people to death. WTH? Why? Hippies, I hate them too. Anyone notice that after the Hippie revolution the US has been going to hell.

Jenny, let’s see you starve someone you love to death. Apparently you have never been in that situation, I have, I would not let them starve my mother to death even though every medical professional there told me to. She regained quite a bit after her stroke, she was able to say good bye and died on her own after 6 months. That was much more preferable to starving someone to death, it’s not a nice way to die.
