AND if they can prove she actually requested to die rather than live on in this way

Well, we both know they'll never be able to prove that to the satisfaction of both.

But I just wondered what is going to happen if the panel agrees with what Greer has done and the USSC keeps out of it.

Is there any "authority" that will end it in that case?

That will, judicially and legislatively, be the end of it.

I guess, for me, it comes down to this: I don't think it should be legally possible for someone to make this kind of decision without having something in writing--especially when that person has something to gain from that spouse's demise.

And even then, starvation should be outlawed as a means to that end. Fer cryin' out loud, they don't allow someone to put panties on the heads of terrorists--yet they can cause this long, painful death for this woman? Something is very wrong with this picture.
