Perhaps. In our day and age we shouldn't have to guarantee humane care of the innocent. It should be a matter of right and wrong. The Right To Life is guaranteed independent of state power. I submit the vexing question is how to get across in our Culture Of Death, the point that neither the law or nor a judge at any time may withdraw or forbid, the provision of food and water from an innocent human being. We used to understand the meaning of a moral obligation. It is what separates men and civilization from animals and the barbarians.
