Truth is Stranger Than Fiction - Part 1: Living Death

Here is a real horror story.  A Belgian man has spent 23 years trapped inside his paralysed body while doctors assumed he was in a vegetative state.  His physicians finally decided to do a brain scan to see what his neurological function was like only to find out that he was perfectly aware and had been so for over two decades. 

The man, who can now communicate via a special computer program, has told how he meditated to help pass the time.  "I cried out, but no-one heard me," he said, "I will never forget the day they discovered me - it was my second birth."
