After years of being “locked in,” patients communicate, say they’re happy (arstechnica.com)

"Of the four patients, all of whom had been completely locked in for years, three said they were happy and loved to live. The fourth, a 24-year-old woman who had rapid onset of the disease, was not asked because her parents feared she was in a delicate mental state, MIT Technology Review reports."

I wonder if they had said "please just kill me" would it have been reported.
