Today may be D-day for Maria Korp
It's been three months since her injury due to attempted murder, and according to this news article she may have her diagnosis changed from Persistent Vegetative State to Permanent Vegetative State as early as May 13th, 2005--which would make her eligible to have life-sustaining treatment removed.
According to recent studies about PVS recovery which I discussed earlier and also in a post this evening, Maria still has a significant chance of recovering consciousness at this point. Several doctors are arguing that it would be premature to consider her in a permanent vegetative state before 12 months have passed.
Please keep Maria and those making these decisions in your prayers today.
[Update: As of today, May 14th, the decision hasn't been made yet. According to this article, it is still being discussed.]
