He told King: “It’s painless, and probably the most natural way to die. It is a very easy way to die — probably the second best way to die, the first being an aneurysm.”

If it is sooooo wonderful, perhaps Michael should try it first. We'll see how he does with it before using his wife as a guinea pig.

How does he know it's easy and painless? My guess is from these comments, this guy is brain-dead and doesn't know it.

Every one of the people who want to do this to Terri should have to suffer the same fate.

Dear Lord and most merciful Heavenly Father, please spare this innocent child of yours this fate. Lord, make it possible for her parents and family who love her to care for her. Father, remove her from the hands of the evil ones who want to kill her. I humbly ask this in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ who died on the cross for our sins and who rose on the third day to give us all everlasting life. Amen.

There's nothing painless about dehydration. I've been treated for that before.

This isn't death with dignity. It's murderous.

My father died this way 3 years ago, but he made the conscious decision to do so after discussing it with the family. He had PSP, a rare form of Parkinson's and had been sick for years. His body was rejecting the feeding tube and the doctors said that they could put him on IVs, but it would only prolong his death. It was a nightmare...I have never recovered from spending his last 10 days with him, watching him slowly starve to death, but it was his wish.
