"Question": "Cracks start to show in ‘vegetative state’ diagnosis by Kathleen GilbertJuly 11, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- After years of opposition from disability advocates, more experts are beginning to question the validity of the “persistent vegetative state” (PVS) diagnostic label that paved the way for Terri Schiavo’s starvation death.A Discover magazine article by Kat McGowan published online on July 6 explained that PVS often fails to account for a broad swath of traumatic brain injury patients who are deemed to be \"still in there\" -- a conclusion one science reporter called \"haunting.\" The article examined the outcome of years of experiments by Dr. Joseph Giancino, Director of Rehabilitation Neuropsychology at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, and Nicholas Schiff, a Weill Cornell Medical Center neurologist, as they probed the distinction between reflexes and \"real cognition\" in patients who appear to have little communion with the outside world. Several studies, one as late as 2009, have found that as many as 41 percent of PVS patients had some level of awareness, and the evidence keeps building. Schiff called his first experience with an awakening -- he discovered his very first PVS patient was speaking three years later -- \"truly surreal.\" Spurred by that experience, he and Giancino examined more \"PVS\" patients. In one case, the team marveled as the neural activity of one man deemed minimally conscious \"flared up\" just like a healthy brain at the sound of his mother's voice. Another patient woke up abruptly after 19 years of minimal consciousness and began to speak fluently. Later, a scan found that his brain was sprouting new connections, something \"nobody would have believed\" possible with a decades-old injury without picture proof, according to one expert.However, the bright prospects may be dimmed by prejudice against the disabled: Giancino reflected on a grim reaction he received at a \"well-regarded major medical center\" after he had given a presentation of his findings.\"The Head of Trauma Center thanks me and in a very jovial manner\".What is the main objective of this article?",

"Question": "Cracks start to show in ‘vegetative state’ diagnosis by Kathleen GilbertJuly 11, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) -- After years of opposition from disability advocates, more experts are beginning to question the validity of the “persistent vegetative state” (PVS) diagnostic label that paved the way for Terri Schiavo’s starvation death.A Discover magazine article by Kat McGowan published online on July 6 explained that PVS often fails to account for a broad swath of traumatic brain injury patients who are deemed to be \"still in there\" -- a conclusion one science reporter called \"haunting.\" The article examined the outcome of years of experiments by Dr. Joseph Giancino, Director of Rehabilitation Neuropsychology at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, and Nicholas Schiff, a Weill Cornell Medical Center neurologist, as they probed the distinction between reflexes and \"real cognition\" in patients who appear to have little communion with the outside world. Several studies, one as late as 2009, have found that as many as 41 percent of PVS patients had some level of awareness, and the evidence keeps building. Schiff called his first experience with an awakening -- he discovered his very first PVS patient was speaking three years later -- \"truly surreal.\" Spurred by that experience, he and Giancino examined more \"PVS\" patients. In one case, the team marveled as the neural activity of one man deemed minimally conscious \"flared up\" just like a healthy brain at the sound of his mother's voice. Another patient woke up abruptly after 19 years of minimal consciousness and began to speak fluently. Later, a scan found that his brain was sprouting new connections, something \"nobody would have believed\" possible with a decades-old injury without picture proof, according to one expert.However, the bright prospects may be dimmed by prejudice against the disabled: Giancino reflected on a grim reaction he received at a \"well-regarded major medical center\" after he had given a presentation of his findings.\"The Head of Trauma Center thanks me and in a very jovial manner\".Which of the following words could replace the word \"spurred\" (line 19)?",
