Introduction:
A vegetative person refers to a person whose brain has completely or mostly lost its function, that is, he has lost consciousness but is still alive. Although a vegetative person still has a heartbeat and usually has a reflex action, the continuation of a vegetative person's life usually needs the care of others, and eating and other behaviors can only be completed with the assistance of others. In medicine, people who are judged to be in a vegetative state wake up again, but it is not common, and patients who are usually in the "lowest conscious state" will only wake up when the brain is still partially functional and partially conscious.
