Conservative Wordsmith Susan Baldwin writes: Jan Grzebska, a man who lives in Poland, woke up after having been in a coma for 19 years. When he awoke, he said that "the world is prettier now" than it was under communism. His wife spoon fed him all those years. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/

Friday, June 1, Jack Kevorkian, commonly known as "Dr. Death," was released from an 8 year prison sentence. When he was released, he said that he still believes that people have the right to die, and promised not to help anyone commit suicide.

id/18974940/I can't help but wonder about the strange coincidence of these two stories. Mr. Grzebska was actually in a coma when Kevorkian was out of prison and practicing his "assisted suicide" of 130 or so people, and also when Kevorkian was in prison.
So Mr. Grzebska is really lucky to be alive, because if Kevorkian had visited the town in Poland where Mr. Grzebska lives, who knows? Mr. Grzebska might have been euthanized a long time ago, and would have never been able to experience a changed Poland, or anything else, for that matter.
This is not the first time I have read news stories like this. There are people that, from time to time, for whatever reason, do come out of extremely long comas. Now there are those (especially in the scientific community) who don't like stories like this. They like to pretend that these kinds of stories don't exist.
As Bob Dylan once wrote in his song Blowing in the Wind: http://www.bobdylan.com/songs/blowin.html "How many times can a man turn his head, pretending he just doesn't see?"
If medical experts were to acknowledge the fact that everyone who is terminally ill does not die, and that everyone who is in a coma is not a vegetable, then their entire agenda in promoting their philosophy that a human being has the "right to die" disappears. This is all based on a God is Dead agenda.
