I couldn't think of any better sub-forum for this.
Coma. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coma As far as I know coma these days could be more considered to be an Ego 'problem' because the 'morph' really doesn't have anything (much?) wrong with it during a coma.
Of course there are different types of coma and some of them are because of neurological damage. That is something that probably could be fixed by skilled psychosurgery. How about those not-so-deep coma patients that can be predicted to wake up quite soon, could they be revived faster somehow? I'm thinking time-accelerated SimulSpace therapy, in where the time 'goes' faster than in the physical world. Probably psychosurgery could be used to 'jump-start' the brain somehow, but could probably be considered to be a crude and unnecessary procedure by the doctors.
Any thoughts and suggestions welcome!

Re: Coma
Maybe, maybe not. As we've written the background, some types of coma might be more recoverable than others. But H+ still doesn't have a perfect understanding of what actually goes on inside the brain, even though they can make a copy of it. If you're interested in using comas as a plot device, you have a lot of latitude in deciding whether the game world presents a magic bullet for fixing them. Some might be just as difficult to wake a person from as they are today.
