Vegetative State and January Presentation

Communicating with people in a Vegetative State
There has been a new discovery that allows doctors to communicate with patients in a vegetative state. The doctor will speak to the patient and ask them questions, then they will see what parts of the brain are active to answer the question. This is very important because doctors will be able to determine whether their patient is in pain or not.
Knowledge Questions:
How can we determine if the patient full understands the question?
If we ask the patient if they would like to die, how can we be sure they understand the gravity of the question?
Who has the final say in whether the patient should live or die?

January Presentation
Should a piece be considered art if it has been produced by a non-artist?

What is considered art?
What makes someone an artist?
Is the definition of an artist dependent on the definition of art or vice versa?
