About: Rom Houben

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Rom Houben is a comatose Belgian man who was claimed to have the ability to type through facilitated communication, a scientifically discredited technique. Houben was comatose and in a vegetative state for 23 years after a near-fatal automobile accident, but whom according to several of his caregivers, was conscious and paralyzed during the entirety of his hospital stay. In 2010, the claim that Houben was able to communicate was rejected when communication could not be replicated with a different facilitator and by hiding the object to be identified from the view of the facilitator.

dbo:abstract
  • Rom Houben (* 1963) ist ein belgischer Wachkomapatient. Sein Zustand geht auf einen Autounfall 1983 zurück. Seine Betreuer behaupten, er sei entgegen der ursprünglichen ärztlichen Diagnose von Anfang an bei vollem Bewusstsein gewesen. Der Fall wurde 2009 durch das Magazin Der Spiegel aufgegriffen und in der Folge international diskutiert, insbesondere im Kontext der ethischen Debatte um die Sterbehilfe. Zahlreiche Medien zeigten Filmaufnahmen, auf denen zu sehen sein soll, wie Houben sich mit gestützter Kommunikation (FC) über eine Tastatur der Außenwelt mitteilt. (de)
