So you think helpless people who cannot speak for themselves should be executed.

Just so it’s clear to eveyrone what you are saying.

To even ask that question, means you have not understood at all what my point was. I said not one freakin’ thing about “execution”. I can imagine no greater torture any person can possibly endure that to live completely cut off from the world in that way, it would be like just having your brain kept alive in a jar, unable to interact with ANYTHING. True, she had no living will, so the people around her had no way to know her wishes. I cannot say for absolute certain that she truly wanted to continue living, but you absolutely for more certain cannot guarantee that she wasn’t silently screaming in her head every day for years for her family to just do the compassionate thing and let her go. Because of this incident, my living will is absolutely, abundantly clear, what I want to happen if I get into a similar situation where I no longer even have the power to express my wishes to anybody.
