Locked-in syndrome sufferer speaks of his zest for life

Christian Institute: Bram Harrison is unable to move, except for his eyes. Several years ago a doctor asked him what they should do if, for whatever reason, his heart stopped. His response was that he wanted to live, just as he wants to live now.

At the age of 20 Mr Harrison was involved in a cycling accident. He was not wearing a helmet and fractured his skull, damaging his brain. He was left paralysed and unable to speak and the only part of his body he can deliberately move are his eyes and his eye-lids. Yet his mind remains active.
