A feeding tube in your stomach is not nature either. At least I know that I dont seem to have one.
I'm not criticizing people like you who are supporting her. I just pray that I never find myself on either side of a situation like this.
To all. Do your loved ones a favor and write out a living will, and be specific. Dont make them agonize over a situation like this.

Neither is starvation and dehydration.

Even if you did it wouldn't mean that you are unworthy to have life.

Do your loved ones a favor and write out a living willA living will could be your death sentence. Legally, any "irreversible condition" such as a limp or high blood pressure qualifies you as a "terminal patient". And "no heroic measures" has often been interpreted as no water or food. What is a person to do? Go to the web site for the National Right to Life Committee (www.nrlc.org) and download a will to live for the state you live in. Then, and only then, you'll know that your wishes will be followed.

The judge won't let the staff give her food or water by mouth, either. That is evil. Anyone that says it isn't hasn't thought through the ramifications. A baby can't feed himself. How far are we going to let this go?

Lots of people work and live with the use of feeding tubes, people like Rose Kennedy, who used one for years.
Feeding tubes, Neither new nor rare
Feeding tubes have been used for 100 years and about 848,000 people in this country should be killed, according to your statement, if they are so "not nature".
Geeze, get an education next time. :-)
