I don't understand these people at all -- terminal illness is totally different but I don't think it would be right to starve them to death either. I love how people talk about it wouldn't be bad. Obviously they have never been in a hospital and couldn't eat or drink before surgery. Just that little bit is enough to send chills up my back at seeing Terri starved to death.
I was starved (not dehydrated) for 4 days once while in the hospital. I was so hungry, every time I saw a nurse I begged for food. These "experts" who are saying how "peaceful" death by starvation/dehydration is should try it sometime.
when food and water is taken from a terminally ill person, it is not until the very last days and the person usually dies of the illness first. Even if the death was from dehydration, the death certificate would list the desease as the cause of the dehydration.
What will be listed as the cause of death for Terri? Dehydration caused by ?? court order?
