Abstract

The New York Times published a plot description of the movie “In the Matter of Karen Ann Quinlan.” It can be read: “After a serious accident, New Jersey woman Karen Ann Quinlan lapses into an irreversible coma. Only a complicated and expensive life-support system forestalls Karen's inevitable death; otherwise, she is brain dead and her prognosis is hopeless.” [3] Hence, in this portrayal terms like “irreversible coma”, “brain dead”, “prognosis is hopeless”, are misunderstood.

媒体对持续植物人状态的描述
《纽约时报》刊登了电影《凯伦·安·昆兰的事》的情节描述。它可以这样读:“在一场严重的事故后,新泽西女子凯伦·安·昆兰陷入了不可逆转的昏迷。只有复杂而昂贵的生命维持系统才能阻止凯伦不可避免的死亡;否则,她就是脑死亡,预后也没有希望。[3]因此,在这种描述中,“不可逆转的昏迷”、“脑死亡”、“预后无望”等术语被误解了。
