Quotes from that article:
...Rohrersville resident Daniel Sanger has been hospitalized since suffering brain damage after a heart attack in July....On Sunday, hospital staff members removed his feeding tube with the permission of Sanger's wife, Leta Sanger, who said doctors told her the end result would be the same either way.
..."They said the result would be the same even with the feeding tube," Leta Sanger told The Frederick News-Post on Friday.
..."He can barely put two words together," she said. "He can't carry on a conversation."
Starve and thirst somebody for six days and “the result would be the same” as though they hadn’t? Say what? Maybe it wouldn’t be much more either but the poor schmoe never had a chance to show it.
