I don’t recall who it was but there was a national, conservative radio host who argued that the husband just may be carrying out Teri’s wishes, which is a true statement but what I found hard to swallow is that starvation was the method of execution. You can bet every bleeding heart would have cried bloody murder had it been someone on death row.
‘ what I found hard to swallow is that starvation was the method of execution.’
What other choice is available?
That’s how my mother died. Alzheimer’s, she had a do not resuscitate order for 15 years at least and an order to not be kept alive artificially.
The only other option would have been a drug cocktail to end her life.
Instead, we had to watch her fade away slowly on drugs to keep her as comfortable as possible.
There’s really no good way to go, but damn, it was torture for all involved.
