- Yes, I tried one once, but there wasn't anything dead about it.

- I don't know. I'd rather think of her as a sleepwalker who can never be awakened, feeling nothing, knowing nothing.

- She can never be cured?

- I've never heard of a cure.

- Could you give me some details of treatment and diet?
