'Significant brain activity' in comatose Ariel Sharon - CNN.com: "Comatose for seven years, Israel's iconic former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is showing "significant brain activity."
The 84-year-old suffered a devastating stroke January 4, 2006, and a brain hemorrhage. He was presumed to be in a vegetative state. But on Monday, a team of surprised neuroscientists and doctors said Sharon's brain appeared to respond when they showed him pictures of his family and had him listen to his son's voice. Doctors also used tactile stimuli to measure Sharon's reaction.
Does this mean the man Israelis once dubbed the "Lion of God" could wake? Doctors urge caution."
