What may give your life meaning, may not be the same for all others.

Do you hold that the government has a duty to provide food and water to every citizen?

Hell no. But anyone who sedates a family member and deprives them of basic sustenance should have a nice long stay in the penitentery.

I argue that the government has no right to deny a person food and water if someone is willing to give it to them. Her parents are VERY willing to provide her with that care. They have said her husband could have the money, if that's what he wants, they only want to bring their daughter home to care for her. I hate to break it to you, but you aren't going to find many here sympathetic to your "right-to-die" movement which is killing off people without giving them or the rest of their family any say in it. (and trying to insinuate that I am a communist isn't going to get you anywhere)
