I heard a nurse today state that she cared for dying patients in similar circumstances and that it is not as bad as all that because everything possible is done to relieve the pain, including morphine. I don't think I buy it.
One more thing to add to my last post about the nurse. The nurse thought the judge did the right thing because the husband was the guardian and it was the husband's choice. (I hope she's never my nurse!)
Headlines read "doctors remove feeding tube." I thought doctors were supposed to support life, not terminate it. I call these people butchers. Hitler and his minions would be proud.
I cannot believe they withhold water. These are people who are virtually dead, not like Terri who has an understanding of what's happening.
The way they are killing Terri---it would be like being buried alive with no one hearing me banging & scratching on the inside of the casket that I wanted to live. She wouldn't even have the benefit of a bell to ring.
