"A 13-year-old boy in the US state of Alabama regained consciousness just after his parents signed the paperwork to donate his organs.

Trenton McKinley suffered severe brain trauma when he fell from a car trailer which flipped over and hit his head.

Doctors told his parents he would not recover and that his organs were a match for five children who needed transplants.

A day before his life support was to end, Trenton showed signs of awareness".

I've been in meetings with people showing no signs of awareness. I'm staggered doctors are using this as a test of brain function :oops::getmecoat:
