        At least with that you will die in a few hours/days. With this you might be imprisoned in a hospital bed for years

          Wouldn’t it be obvious if you were conscious though? Your heart rate would be through the roof. I’m not a doctor but I’m assuming coma patients don’t normally display massive increases in blood pressure and heart rate? Maybe they do. Idk.

            Depends. If you are on heavy medications, then everything becomes weird in terms of vitals so idk.

        It is a condition where you are completely paralized and you can only observe things as they happen. No control of almost any muscles so no way to communicate with the outside world.
