Is it really true that patients are diagnosed as vegetative without any attempt to check for brain activity with at least an EEG?

  That jumped out at me too.

    Can you imagine listening to your doctor and loved ones discussing taking you off life support and you're just not able to move? Then a lot of times, they just starve the patient to death, thinking they're basically not feeling anything, so then you starve to death while your family sits by your side. That's hell. We need to do a lot more research on conciousness and what makes a person or "animal" have that spark.
