Withholding hydration is NOT pulling a plug. It’s HORRIBLY PAINFUL bec every single organ in the body deprived of hydration slowly turns into a ROCK. All the blood coagulates to the tongue. Those organs all have nerves. PAIN, TORTURE. Sure, why not??? Free Republic is pro-life and if there’s no plugs being pulled due to a genuine coma, it’s torture and it’s murder unless the person sentences themselves to die this way in a living will before they get sick.
Most people I have talked to, including myself and my wife who have had relatives in this situation have made the decision that if the person cannot sustain life on their own and are not even cognizant of their surroundings it is better to let them go on to the next life.
If is obvious you and others have a different opinion and some get into name calling. I have already been called an idiot. I respect your opinion but I don't necessarily agree with it.
For me I have told my wife to pull the plug so to speak if I am in that situation.
