Clive Wearing’s case is really moving for me because I can’t even imagine how difficult it is not to remember anything that happened a few seconds before. He is not in charge of his consciousness, so I think that he can be called a “prisoner of consciousness”. When I watched the film about him, I was amazed how calm he was and how nervelessly he respond to a lot of questions. He behaved like he was reconciled with this really tough situation or maybe it’s because he just doesn’t remember anything that happened a while ago (e. g. he doesn’t remember that someone asked him the same questions two or three times)
