I want now a legislature of a state where the death penalty is legal to allow the state to start executing criminals by starvation and dehydration. They can say hey: the New York Times says it's a painless death! Then we'll see the hypocracy of the ACLU and the other liberals at their ugliest.
I think the point is that it is for those in a PVS-- not those on death row who aren't in a PVS.
