Into The Grey Zone by Adrian Owen
A Neuroscientist Explores the Limits of Morality
A neuroscientist recounts his pioneering work using brain imaging and bedside EEG to detect hidden awareness in patients labelled comatose, vegetative, or minimally conscious, telling moving case studies of people who could not move or speak yet showed signs of thought and communication; he explains the science behind these techniques, the profound ethical and medical implications for diagnosis, treatment and end-of-life decisions, and argues for a deeper, more humane understanding of consciousness at the fragile border between life and death.
