BBC : F1 legend Michael Schumacher 'out of coma'

Well, currently he has no say in it what so ever... I can only imagine the pain and fear his family are feeling, so perhaps that's their way to try and keep some control?

I see your argument but from what I can see, control is what they have abandoned. Speculation is what goes on now with no limits.

Surely that (the rampant speculation) is "someone else's problem"? Why should the Schumacher's care? All they have to do is not read the papers ;-)

You also have to remember that the family may not exactly want to issue a statement to the effect of "Michael is still in a very bad way and he might not survive this".

Privacy is what they are entitled to, and no one needs to know anything further.
