WARD, Judge.
In this appeal we are called upon to decide whether due process prohibits the State of Louisiana from proceeding with its action to terminate the parental rights of a comatose mother who is unable either to appear in court to defend herself or to communicate with her appointed counsel to prepare her defense. We conclude it does not, and we reverse the ruling of the Juvenile Court which quashed the State's petition to terminate parental rights.
