Do we allow people to commit suicide? I think not. And that is when the person is able to communicate their wishes. It is immoral and inhumane to starve and dehydrate a helpless individual. And it is immoral to demand it from others.

This shows how uninformed some people are.

The truth is people can state their wishes in a living will as to WHAT actions can or cannot be taken to keep them alive in situations like Terri's.

It is completely legal, and considered by many to be human to stop sustaining a person in such a horrible and hopeless state of existance.

I was addressing the moral question, not the legal question. I posted a thread earlier today of California Law which makes it legal to starve/dehydrate to death someone in Terri's condition.

There are those, such as yourself, and Howlin, which comfort your consciences with the idea that if a person wants to be starved/dehydrated to death under such conditions, that we should not disappoint them in that desire. I believe that starving/dehydrating a person to death is an immoral action. Notice, no mention of the legality.

I'm curious what other people think about the morality of starving/dehydrating to death people under these circumstances.
