    I mean that’s basically what a person who is a vegetable is (sorry, don’t know the correct terminology, someone probably will be offended by that phrase)

        In a vegetative state would be more accurate:

        The vegetative state is a chronic or long-term condition. This condition differs from a coma: a coma is a state that lacks both awareness and wakefulness. Patients in a vegetative state may have awoken from a coma, but still have not regained awareness. In the vegetative state patients can open their eyelids occasionally and demonstrate sleep-wake cycles, but completely lack cognitive function.
