520 1  "The strange and harrowing sight of a person being awake 
       but unaware with no evidence of a working mind - 
       characteristics of the vegetative state - provokes intense
       debate and raises profound questions for health 
       professionals, ethicists, philosophers and lawyers. This 
       unique account by an unrivalled expert in the field, who 
       himself collaborated in coining the term 'persistent 
       vegetative state', surveys the medical, ethical and legal 
       issues that surround this controversial topic. The medical
       definition and criteria for diagnosis are discussed, as 
       are its frequency and causes, and possible outcomes. These
       range from some recovery to death, with some surviving 
       indefinitely in a vegetative state, which some people 
       believe is a fate worse than death. Ethical arguments 
       discussed include the conflict between sanctity of life 
       and respect for the autonomy and best interests of the 
       victim, and between killing and letting die. Legal issues 
       are explored with details of landmark court cases from the
       USA, Britain and elsewhere. This well-informed and 
       carefully constructed account will be a benchmark for 
       medical specialists, ethicists, philosophers and lawyers."
