Klingon would remain comatose for long; either they would recover, or
receive an honorable death. Terran sympathetic tendencies make it likely
that a human would still refer to a comatose individual otherwise capable of

Klingon is sleeping, he/she is still capable of using language - to prove
this, simply wake the Klingon for no reason. The last thing you will hear
will be a Klingon capable of using language. >>
