[Badray]

I know 2 people on this site who have had to withdraw food & water from relatives in the last 2 years. Two of the anchors on FOX news today said they had had to do it with parents in the last year. Tens of thousands of people have food and water or other life support withdrawn every year.

Ignorance or dishonesty?

Yes, feeding are stopped. Ventilators are unplugged.

FROM TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS! People who die within minutes or hours of life support being withdrawn.

Not from people who are like Terri, brain damaged, but not relying on extraordinary means to keep her alive. Not from people who will linger and suffer for weeks before dying a horrible death.

So are you just ignorant or dishonest?

Which are you?
Ignorant, I'd guess.

My father took 10 days to die. That isn't unusual.
I had him at home.
I bathed him and changed his diapers and kept his mouth and lips moist and read to him though he wasn't really there anymore.
It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but it was what he had asked of me.
