Actually you are the one who has consistently made your personal feelings known about her life for the last ten years or so.
I have not said anything except to ask you to elaborate about what should be done in the absence of her clear decision about what she would have wanted.

You can trust me 150% on this, if you want to be dehydrated to death when your time comes, I will not come and worry one second about you. Nor will I ever try to stop you.
My concern is for those who have not said this is what they wanted, and the choice is being made for them. As well as for the many people who have been forced into death by dehydration even when asking for food and water.

As it has to be, for they did not have the foresight to file a Living Will. The law is not always the best solution, but it beats the alternative - anarchy.

When did Terri Schiavo ever "ask" for food and water?
