Yeah. I learned, again, that some people on AF would rather criticize a theist than rejoice in a medical breakthrough.
Both are possible.
And your next step on your learning journey is to learn the difference between something incorrect you said being corrected and you personally being criticized.
Of course misunderstanding the difference between a vegetative state and brain dead also helps theists believe in their afterlife. Because after all if when a person's dead they're only in a vegetative state then they still have a mind able to experience heaven right?

But, whoopsie, totally brain dead=nothing left to experience anything.

And nothing about the difference between the two states?
NO! That isn't allowed. What if we accidentally shatter the illusion that a brain dead person doesn't have a mind or a soul capable of going to heaven?!?!?!
This thread should have been called "Medical Hope for those in coma P.S. NO SHATTERING ILLUSIONS PLEASE EVEN WHEN IT'S RELEVANT."
