Bid to ‘wake up’ woman against family’s will

A WOMAN in a vegetative state will be given a test drug which may “wake her up”, despite objections from her family who have been overruled by a court.

The 53-year-old, who has not been named, will be given Zolpidem, which could make her conscious, but might leave her seriously disabled.

Her family do not want the test to go ahead, preferring to let her die.
