That's because those convicted serial killers on death row are still people with functioning brains. Sure, they are evil bastards, worthy of death, but they are still conscious human beings...at least until we stick the needle in 'em.
Why, even injecting them to death with massive doses of pain killing chemicals to kill them in mere minutes is deemed "inhumane".
I don't think executions are inhumane...if anything, they are TOO humane...the killers get off light, if you ask me.
But it's OK for the "government" to order the forced dehydration death of one lame,helpless, brain dead woman who was never charged, much less convicted of any crime against humanity?
Nice red herring there. The decicions by the courts in the Schiavo case had nothing to do with her guilt or innocence in any criminal proceeding. It was about the rights of her spouse versus the parents, and the meddling of the state in his private affairs. The courts decided correctly, IMHO.
We will just have to agree to disagree.
Dude, you aint right.
Perhaps...but I make a mean jambalaya!
