"What's happening in Florida resembles the vigils we often see prior to an execution. This isn't an execution though. This is the rational ending to a human being who all the medical evidence says can no longer meaningfully participate in or appreciate life."

Good Lord! This woman, the author, is either the most naive of "journalists" or is typical of the people who are the creators and sustainers of the problem. Not sure which. Get a grip Cheryl! This IS an execution and there is NOTHING rational about it. Meaningfully participate in life??? By whose definition? Yours? Your way of thinking was prevalent in Germany prior to Hitler's rise to power. You might want to rethink your position, or YOU could be next in line on the starvation train given an ill-fated domestic squabble.

"She's in a form of limbo, and ought to be allowed to pass peacefully from it."

But that isn't what's happening Cheryl. You are ignorant. She is being forced to die while fighting to live and there is nothing peaceful about a death by starvation and dehydration.
