Risvegli: Rom Houben, l’uomo che nacque due volte »

Rom Houben, bambino

LIEGE, BELGIUM : (FILES) Reproduction picture of Rom Houben, when he was a boy. For 23 years people thought he was in a coma after a car accident in 1983, but we now know that he was paralysed and unable to communicate. Three years ago Doctor Steven Laureys gave him a specially-adapted computer and then discovered he was not in a coma.
