I would not initiate violence...but I would either get her out of there and defend her life against the violence they are already committing upon her, or I would have to be clubbed into unconsciousness in the attempt.
THEY AR STARVING HER TO DEATH FOR GOD'S SAKE!
The violence has already been committed. What are people willing to do to protect the innocent?
If we will not stand for one of our own, innocent children when they are doing this to her...irrespective of whether it is the government or a thug...then we will roll over for anything!
As someone in the medical profession, I know that stopping feeding and hydration occurs rather frequently. The long death vigil then begins. The family suffers two weeks of mental torture. The patient, those who claim to know say, "feels nothing".
I honestly don't know what the patient feels.
Maybe they don't feel anything. Maybe, in between the bouts of morphine drip induced sleep, they wake up to a semi-conscious state where they feel a raging thirst before drifting off again.
I have come to a conclusion about what I want at the end of life and it is not to be starved or dehydrated to death. If I am to be killed, I want to killed by turning up the morphine drip.
If society is going to decide to terminate life, then society should be up front about it. If you are going to do it, then do it quickly and humanely.
We don't starve dogs to death at the pound. My choice, when I go, is that I want to be treated as least as well as a dog.
