What does being in a vegetative state mean?
A vegetative state is absence of responsiveness and awareness due to overwhelming dysfunction of the cerebral hemispheres, with sufficient sparing of the diencephalon and brain stem to preserve autonomic and motor reflexes and sleep-wake cycles.

Treatment is supportive. Prognosis with persistent deficits is bleak, and withdrawal of care should be discussed with family members.
