The patient slips into a genuine coma and dies. They dehydrate. <BR/><BR/>I do not know how to "feel" about that process. My mother died in just this manner while in hospice care.

Nor do I expect to visit one ever. What I meant by that "silly" remark was that we go out of our way to off our criminals in a humane way, yet we'll allow terminally ill-- or, sorry to be blunt, lost causes-- to slowly and very painfully die instead of allowing them to die painlessly and quickly.Erratic Prophethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11033592461951375623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325344.post-1111523349089858382005-03-23T06:29:00.000+10:002005-03-23T06:29:00.000+10:00EP ~ Original source was from the Cato Institute i...EP ~ Original source was from the Cato Institute in Washington :)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15400006028099229571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325344.post-1111512810877445222005-03-23T03:33:00.000+10:002005-03-23T03:33:00.000+10:00There is something I've always wondered about situ...There is something I've always wondered about situations like this. If it were an animal, doctors would put it to sleep. Also, we don't let criminals suffer. They get lethal injection because it's more humane. Since we're talking about a human, an ill human, we go all over the place about what to do and then starve the person to death. It just never made sense to me.

But from your statements, I gather her husband would fight that, because it would mean surrending the money for her care.<BR/><BR/>A side note: what kind of moron takes up with this guy and has two children with him?English Professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15191669597257396380noreply@blogger.com
