So then.... you were one of the liberal-minded individuals that agreed with the slow starvation of Terri Shiavo, eh? Got it.
No as a matter of fact I found the murder of Shiavo to be one of the lowest points in American moral life. There is a huge difference between withholding normal comfort and sustance and not initiating or withdrawing medicines or treatments. We withdraw medications all the time, from chemo...
Yes, but when people withdraw loved ones from chemo, doesn’t that usually result from the treatment having failed and the outcome being hopeless? I don’t see the comparison with the topic at hand.
Terri Shiavo wasn’t able to make or communicate her own decision for herself even tho I do believe she wanted to live. Usually when people on chemo are ready to die they have signaled that wish to do so via a DNR or living will. Right?
