Trouble,
This reminds me of a question that's been bothering me for a while and probably has to do with why I favor the non-answer. So naturally I am taking the liberty of asking your opinion:
If one is really "insane" to where you cannot communicate, you know to where the relationship between your mind and your "true" self is like that of a person in a comma. Are you aware of what is going on and are suffering in silence or are you blissfully ignorant? It frightens me to imagine the suffering if you are actually aware, worse than indefinite solitary confinement because you can see the sun. Also I am wondering what implications would the answer have in terms of euthanasia?
