  • I just read the news about this man named Rom Houben who lived like Johnny, complitely paralized for 23 years, while the doctors thought he was in a coma..

    He said "'I screamed, but there was nothing to hear"... poor guy :-(

  • This makes me cry.

  • @Valdinsh I watched this as a young kid on T.V once, this clip, and it really disturbed me. But I think.... Personally, after enough time, it would be possible to come to terms with it. I read about a girl named Hellen Keller, who grew up blind and deaf (a real woman), and she learned to communicate and write, even finding joy and happiness in life. I believe there is almost always hope, and it bugs me (not that you were saying this) when I hear people talking about just, giving up. :(

  • @Venom1246 Unless, he found a way to cope inside his own mind. And communicate with doctors. It would be suffering either way, but can you imagine if he WANTED to live? And someone decided for him, to pull the plug? Laying there in bed, unable to communicate, begging to be allowed to live, but no one hearing his pleas..... It really goes both ways. In real life, I think people should do whatever they can to find a way to communicate. Remember Helen Keller?

  • @TheVoodude much women are into curls ^^

  • @hiddenbehindthemask Actually it was an artillary shell

    

  • @hiddenbehindthemask landmines

  • what caused him to be like that ? step on landmines ? or get shot by artillery ?

    (sorry 4 my bad english before)

  • @motordeo agreed. Can't imagine that there's 1 person one this planet that wants to live like Johnny.

    Best thing to do is to free hm from his suffering

  • docs want his for experiments-and other stuff--- but they cant show u that

  • So he got his limbs blown off and his face scooped out, but at least he has a nice head of hair!
