An awful event happened to a man 6 years ago. He was severely battered by unknown criminals and was in a near death state. His his head was the part of his body that was damaged the most. High ranked physicians informed his parents that he would be brain dead the rest of his existence, as his skull was deeply gashed into his brain after the beating. The parents of the man prayed for his life.
5 years past and the man was barely being kept alive in the hospital. At this point the parents okayed an experimental procedure involving his brain to be stimulated by electrodes. The process took about 6 months, but it brought the man back to Earth. Now 38 years old, his brain was functioning again, but with refreshed thought. Refreshed thought meaning he forgot most/all of what he has learned. He is now able to perform simple tasks such as drink from a cup in his hands to just speaking.
This experiment will be expanded to include 11 more patients.
( A quote from the article: )Thankfully, the man will be able to live on and eventually be restored to his previous self. His parents are just glad that he can say "I love you," again.
"The federally funded experiment is most promising for patients who suffered brain trauma, rather than blood or oxygen deprivation to their brain, experts said."
