His whole "euphoric starvation" schtick is getting pretty lame. It presupposes the person who is starving is aware of surroundings.

Rush has disgusted me in many ways over this issue. He falls back to a "Living Will" but makes arguments against exercising a living will. And then brings up Kevorkian and the "culture of death" if any humane means are suggested to speed up the process. All this while telling us we should be outraged that the Supreme Court determined it unconstitutional that children be executed--a reflexive impulse from the his "culture of life" I guess.

This is the guy who's always praising the human spirit and how we yearn for freedom and how all of us should pursue our human potential. But this poor woman must be trapped in a shell to be a symbol for the sanctity of life. Life is so precious that a women who lost 80% of her brain, living on the remaining damaged 20%, should be trapped in that shell as long as the shell can continue to exist, and embracing a religious right that shows less faith in God or the afterlife by their determination to keep this poor woman alive.

That is a gross misunderstanding of orthodox Christian belief.
