Vexonater	I'm surprised the guy wasn't completely nuts after all that time trapped in his own body.

Garthor	Total bullshit: http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/ 783-this-cruel-farce-has-to-stop.html To summarize: "facilitator" grabs hand of guy in coma, moves it over keyboard, HOLY SHIT HE'S TYPING OH MY GOD!

Zaole	heh, i like how the author of the article says "SHE'S JUST ABUSING FC TO MAKE AND SELL A BOOK! SHE SHOULD BE STOPPED!" and goes on to say "i explain this farce fully in my next book, A Magician in the Laboratory."

You know, I have to agree to a certain point this is bullshit. I mean this guy is supposed to be full body paralyzed right? Then how is he supposed to type? In one of the videos I saw, the person holding his hand was clearly typing for him. How do they know what he wants to type?

Also they are talking about "walking" away from these people. What the fuck is this? Who the hell could seriously look you in the face and say "If I am ever 100% paralyzed or have 'locked in syndrome' I want you to make sure I stay alive".

That is a fucking horror if I ever heard of one. If that ever happened to me, I'd want to die immediately.

I should have a right to live or die. Anyone telling me anything else are cunts.
