What is the best match?

persistent vegetative state (PVS)

    { 1 } - patients have at least some periods of conscious awareness and can respond to others at least by eye movements, but are otherwise paralyzed and unable to speak
    { 2 } - patients can be physiologically stabilized for long periods, even years, but can have no psychic functions since these depend on higher brain centers
    { 3 } - patients are totally unconscious as if asleep
