Shocking evidence shows people in vegetative states may be conscious

Yeah, this something I think about. Back in the 80s a friend's younger brother was hit by a car while on his bike. He was in a coma for over two months and his family was ready to write him off, so to speak.

One morning he wakes up and a few hours later his first question was, "why couldn't anyone hear me?"

To hear the story from him was a lot spookier.
