First off, I do not support nor want this woman to be starved to death. If you read everything i've said, you would know even though I might lean towards letting her pass, I would never condone starving someone to death. The other thing is this woman has been like this for 5 or 10 years hasn't she? I'm glad that you got over your ordeal as fast as you did and even though you may have had a semi-similar experience, it definately is/was not the same.
BUT!!! I was given the opportunity of "Rehabilitation" and the "Loving support of family"
Trust me, my dear, this makes all the difference in the world. I know what I saw in her eyes and I know where she was coming from..
This was "murder" in the process.
When you can speak from experience, let me know.
