Would we allow a retarded child to be starved to death?

Excellent point.

Would we allow a retarded child without an attorney to be starved to death?

Oh and btw,

The US Constitution's eighth amendment expressly forbids the use of "cruel and unusual punishments", which is widely interpreted as a prohibition of the use of torture or in other words "intentionally causing permanent damage to vital organs or permanent emotional trauma"

I believe starvation is a "cruel and unusual" punishment.
