It is bullcrap. This just seems so wrong. They are dehydrating a living person. I don't care what the law says...this is sick & inhumane. Hildy is very disturbed to support this action.
For the 80th time, in absense of a written consent, in this case, I believe Terri should be released to her parents providing they care for her in their home, with their money. As long as she's being taken care of by the State, it will be a State issue. As far as me "supporting" this. There's no alternative. I would hope that they would give her morphine to speed it up. It's not a case of supporting, everything was done within the law. This has been almost 10 years in the making. This wasn't done in the dead of night. I think everyone's energies would be better spent trying to change the laws either way.
No, the statements like that above, is what bullcrap consists of.
This method of death is the most used and most accepted of any, and it happens every hour of every day or every year for probably the last 5 thousand years or more.
Most often, it is done by the patient themselves.
