Maybe it would have been nice to discuss the necessary and sufficient conditions for consciousness suggested by the article or the medical ethics of terminating people with severely compromised brains.
Don't deflect. "Fine, whatever" was the point you thought you had, when it wasn't.

If you personally want to stick to your guns, then so be it. I cannot have a rational discussion regarding the article if you cannot admit that you were wrong about comparing being "brain dead" to a "vegetative state".
It's hardly a nitpick when they're two completely different things.
Neo's next thread title will be titled "HELP! I SET MYSELF ON FIRE!" and then the OP is about how he started playing The Sims and forgot to level up his character's Cooking skill.
