Now, this young man who had so much promise is in a vegetative state.

Why did he go?
You are right, of course. But like the young man who got caned in Singapore for vandalism, kids this age don't always use a whole lot of common sense. For one thing, they think they're invincible.

I am just sick for this young man and his family. I pray for some miracle for them.

That country is run by madmen.
