(NPR) Talk of the Nation -"Science Friday"- March 25, 2005 ·

As Terri Schiavo remains in Hospice care and without a feeding tube, new questions are being raised about her level of awareness. How is a "Persistent Vegetative State" different from a "Minimally Conscious State," and how do Neurologists diagnose the difference?

Guests:

Timothy E. Quill, Professor of Medicine, Psychiatry and Medical Humanities. Director, Center for Palliative Care and Clinical Ethics, University of Rochester Medical Center
