At some point, IMO, keeping a person "alive" by artificial means, is abusive ...and selfish. I think life support systems are for people who will get better and have a life.

Would you put an 85 year old parent with dementia, diagnosed with cancer thru chemo therapy? I wouldn't! IMO, that would be abusive and selfish!

If you consider that brutal murder, so be it. To me, it's humane.

Since when was Terri Schiavo ever an 85 year old parent with dementia, diagnosed with cancer? And how do you equate food and water with chemotherapy?

You keep trying to deflect and change the subject. Why is that?

The more I think about your off the wall question, the more I wonder what you would do to an 85 year old parent with dementia, diagnosed with cancer who was at your mercy. Would you starve and dehydrate him/her to death? And call it "mercy."
