It is a decision no parent ever wants to make. But as the Rudd family watched their 43-year-old son lying paralysed and comatose on a life support machine, they came to a terrible conclusion.
Recalling a conversation where Richard told them he wouldn't want to be trapped in a useless body, his relatives agreed it was time to let him go.
Yet even as the Rudd family mentally prepared to say goodbye, his doctor made a startling discovery. Despite his devastating spinal injuries, Richard Rudd was still able to blink his eyes in response to simple questions. And when asked if he wanted to stay alive, the father of two's answer was a categoric Yes.

People like the Professor in this video should be paid more than footballers, football coaches and managers! As for being in a "locked-in" state, I cannot think of anything worse than being thought of as brain-dead and in fact able to feel and hear everything. Living hell. Good luck to you Richard, you derve it!
