federal regulation banning euthanasia

Of course, the Schiavo-Felos-Greer triumvirate does not regard removal of a feeding tube as "euthanasia" but a "natural process."

I hope and trust (?) the federal regs will not allow death by dehydration, regardless of the COD opinions. We should find those regs!

True, true. Try Dr. Felos McMoonbeam's Natural Death Diet! Simply push yourself away from the table. Miraculous results in only ten to fourteen days, guaranteed. You will lose your surplus fat, body moisture, brain function and heartbeat. Nothing to it! And just think of it, Dr. McMoonbeam could be on Oprah and all the good shows and make zillions with a new diet book.

So True....

WND incorrectly reported that Felos is an advocate of euthanasia. Felos stresses he advocates the withdrawal of feeding tubes, but opposes euthanasia, which he defines as "the active intervention of an external agent to end a life" and, as he pointed out, is a criminal act. Further, Felos said he is a staunch supporter of better end-of-life care for patients which he believes will reduce public support for euthanasia and asssisted suicide. WND regrets the error.
