    I would argue that ‘any condition’ isn’t really better. If they return as a vegetable, wouldn’t their loved ones ultimately rather remember them as they were before, instead of wiping their shit for a miserable decade?

      That may vary depending on the family member. I have seen disputes amongst family as to which treatment is the best course of action.
