I wonder what the banner says between the couple holding up such wonderful matching posters....I LOVE THEIR BIBLICAL QUOTATION!
Well Republic, I have my qualms about posting this. We are just a week away though. This should be bothersome because it is going to happen unless a miracle happens. If it is censored, we know why.
"WHAT HAPPENS to non-terminally ill people with cognitive disabilities whose feeding tubes are removed? Do they suffer from the process?"
"When I conducted research on this question in preparation for writing my book "Forced Exit," I asked St. Louis neurologist William Burke these very questions. Here is what he told me: "
A conscious [cognitively disabled] person would feel it just as you or I would. They will go into seizures. Their skin cracks, their tongue cracks, their lips crack. They may have nosebleeds because of the drying of the mucus membranes, and heaving and vomiting might ensue because of the drying out of the stomach lining. They feel the pangs of hunger and thirst. Imagine going one day without a glass of water! Death by dehydration takes ten to fourteen days. It is an extremely agonizing death.
Doctor details Scientologist's death

CLEARWATER - Medical tests indicate Lisa McPherson was without fluids for at least five to 10 days of her stay at the Church of Scientology's world spiritual headquarters.
Pinellas-Pasco Medical Examiner Joan Wood said it's possible McPherson, who died in December 1995, had nothing to drink throughout her 17-day stay at the Fort Harrison Hotel.
Wood said Wednesday the insect bites found on McPherson's body after her death were most likely from cockroaches. In addition, Wood said McPherson was comatose for the last 24 to 48 hours of her life.
