He says his wife says why not give a lethal injection instead of the starvation thing...even tho doctors say it is not painful.

There you have it ... that's the end game. When starvation/dehydration is shown to be extraordinarily painful, the next step is lethal injection ... no objection there because it's painless, and humane. Evil is so attractive.

Re. ACLU involvement FOR starving Terri to death. I quote from an AP article which appeared in our local paper a few months back: San Francisco. Lawyers for a condemned CA man who killed two women argued to a federal appellate court Wed that the lethal injection he faces next week is cruel and unusual, and that it violates the First Amendment right of speech.
Inmate Donald Beardslee, in what is believed to be the first challenge of its kind to lethal injection, said the combination of a sedative and a paralyzing agent would mask whether he is experiencing excruciating pain, would prohibit him from crying out and would prevent public witnesses to the execution from seeing him contort, a violation of the First Amendment.
"This drug will serve the purpose of masking this pain," argued Alan Schlosser, an ACLU lawyer. He said it could also prevent the two dozen public witnesses from viewing "movement that might be unpleasant and unsightly."
In response, Dane Gillette, CA's top capital punishment lawyer, argued that Beardslee must be executed Jan. 19 because there is no evidence that he will endure unnecessary pain, in violation of the 8th Amendment.
A lower court judge dismissed both challenges last week, among other things claiming they were speculative.

Beardslee was convicted of killing two women in 1981 to get even for a soured drug deal.

Stupid ACLU. Hypocrites! They think it's okay to starve Terri to death - a gruesome painful death - but it's NOT okay to put a murderer to death by lethal injection because that would be cruel and unusual. I think the ACLU is cruel and unusual.

"There you have it ... that's the end game. When starvation/dehydration is shown to be extraordinarily painful, the next step is lethal injection ... no objection there because it's painless, and humane."

Also, the person injected will be dead before anyone can take it to court. Or even before the cops get there.

"There you have it ... that's the end game. When starvation/dehydration is shown to be extraordinarily painful, the next step is lethal injection ... no objection there because it's painless, and humane. Evil is so attractive."

Afterthought - this is pure Hegelian. Pure dialectics. They want to kill, we don't. They torture a few to death with dehydration, and there's an outcry about how painful it is.

They say, "you're right, it's incredibly painful". And offer a painless, fast acting little shot as a "compromise". We'll be told that "reasonable" people always accept a compromise - any compromise - and if we don't accept this one we'll be called "unreasonable".

Thesis - antithesis - synthesis - right from the Marxist playbook.

We can't compromise. When you compromise with evil the amount of evil goes up, and the amount of good goes down. No compromise.
