Assuming she asked not to be kept alive, did she know she would be starved and dehydrated into an awful death.<< Are you seriously asking about what she knew in a hypothetical question? Well, then yes, let's assume, she knew what extraordinary efforts meant, and that definition includes forced feeding.<<

I am assuming she had no idea that any comment she made would lead to her being put through an awful death like this.

I make off the comments all the time.
I do not expect them to be taken as a point of law.

As a former nurse, I cannot even begin to convey what this means to me. As a Canadian, our government and courts would not accept the wishes of a non-brain-damaged women who spoke elequently about her wishes (Sue Rodrigues) to end her life.

If only someone could get her here.
