Re: [Sndbox] Right to Die

After actually seeing this woman last night.... I would hate
to be her parents and watch the facial expressions of her
as she died of starvation and dehydration...  It is going to
be extreamly hard on them.

Not the same ..... true... but I am  not yet convinced that
she will suffer no discomfort.

Maybe, but I'm with Laurie....it's still starving them to death.
That's
why
it's always bugged me...

Actually, the hospice folks here swear that removing the tube is
actually
more peaceful for the patient than other methods.  Their body shuts
down
and
goes to sleep.

I have a problem with just stopping the feeding tube.
That is starving her to death...nope...can't go with that..but if
she is
braindead, or in a permanent vegitative state, I can see increasing
pain
meds and ending her life that way....no suffering. In my opinion,
starvation
is painful and suffering occurs.
