Including this statement: “Naturally, I tested him to rule out the possibility that it’s actually the speech therapist doing the writing,” says Laureys. “We are sure that Rom is conscious.”

Everything else can be found in there, or via a simple google search. Which is the minimum research that should be expected from the writer.
Especially judging from a little video and pretending to know better than the people there is extremely unscientific or lets say: unskeptical towards himself.

Where are these tests that “confirm” his writing is real – reference to them.

If you’re going to call out the author of this article about doing research, show the facts, else your argument can be claimed to be just as invalid.

Not only did brain scans clearly show that there is the activity of a conscious man. But also there were several tests done to confirm his writing is real. The tests you suggest.
Add up to this, that the procedure of him learning to use the device took 3 years (starting with a hard to hoax yes-no device).

And the main point btw. of the doctors that published the story, is that this happens way more often than people think. A large amount of people thought to be in coma are actually just unable to react strong enough.

Some basic fact checking would IMO be the minimum before you can seriously pull the work of these experienced doctors into doubt. You might do more harm than good.

I originally observed this news letter on the front page of Yahoo about a week ago. I was amazed. I read the article, I didn’t see a video, and was just shocked. I believed it!

Then I saw the video.

Observations:
1) The keyboard is not a QWERTY keyboard, it is in alphabetical order. (5:30 in your video marystack). It is a small (perhaps useless observation) but an observation nonetheless.

2) I want YOU and everyone reading this to watch HOW FAST she’s moving his hand around. In a previous article I read (I don’t have a source, I’m sure you can find it) it said that she could feel him motioning which direction to go to type.

Do this: You and a friend, both with your eyes completely open, looking at a paper with ABCDEF etc to Z, have your friend put their hand into your hand and see if you can move to the right letter that they’re wanting to go to. Tell them to use minimal movement. Sure – it’s possible, but NOT NEARLY as FAST as this woman guides this man’s hand. I call BS.

It’s sad, really. I understand that people like this only want the best for the family & friends, and really – the world. For all of us to see hope, it really is great. But unfortunately, cases like these, psychics, and other things are merely FAKE.
