Yeah right. When you have an article entitled, "New York Times: There IS something going on in there!", I'll start paying attention.
Besides, your article is not about PVS patients. Why did you reference it? Why did you waste my time?
"There is no such thing as "allowing" PVS patients to die."
Yes there is. Removing artificial feeding is withdrawing treatment, thereby allowing the patient to die.
Food is not "treatment". Withholding of food is now "allowing" someone to die - it is killing them. Suppose I should lose both of my arms in an accident and need to be fed. Since I cannot feed myself, should then I be "allowed" to die?
I say give her the pill and let her make her own decision.
