  • They feed them threw a feeding tube

  • Wow... you're soliciting people's questions about this story when you don't even know how people are fed when in comas? ... I don't think you're in much position to answer any questions...

    did you even read the articles?

    I'll try to explain in about 200 words...

    Man hit by car... man in coma... (fed intravenously...) ...man's mom pushes for PET scan as such technology develops... brain shown with regular functionality... doctors use "Facilitated Communication..." And finally: FC is a hoax. Done.
