Is it possible to be born in a vegetative state and be in the vegetative state all your life? i know some people who stay like that, from birth to now
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes Is Possible But: Yes it is possible in cases when before/during/immediately after the delivery if there is not enough oxygen available for Brain.The baby is brain damaged and can be incapable of independent living and may need life long care by the family or in certain cases in an institution.But we do not call it a vegetative state.There are other names like Cerebral Palsy and others.
