Gee, then the NYT won't mind at all if we try this at Gitmo.

Well compared to reading the New York Times it isn't painful.
To: MisterRepublican
The newspaper that was most outraged over photos of Iraqi terrorist suspects being mistreated by U.S. soldiers at Abu Ghraib prison said Sunday that the two week-long starvation-execution of Terri Schiavo will cause her "little discomfort." Good. Great. Then the NYT can't possibly voice any intellectually coherent objections, in the future, if we decide to starve captive Islamofascists to death, rather than "torturing" them. :)

In fact, declining food and water is a common way that terminally ill patients end their lives, because it is less painful than violent suicide... The problem is that this is not a SUICIDE!
To: MisterRepublican
I remember from when I was cutting weight in wrestling, if I didnt eat for just 3 days it would start to feel like it was burning almost in my stomach. After a while, and eating when I could, it went away, almost like I built up a resistance to it, but that was over a period of 3 months.....
I can't even begin to imagine a week or two weeks with out any food.....

Someone called in to Fox and Friends a few minutes ago with pretty much the same angle.
Creepy stuff.

I did that as well. I hated it. I had too eat though. And I could.

"In fact, declining food and water is a common way that terminally ill patients end their lives, because it is less painful than violent suicide and requires no help from doctors," the paper maintains. This ranks high on the list of the stupidest things I have ever read.
Question.If this bast##d down in Fla.that killed the little girl tries to starve himself to death won`t the state at some point force feed him to keep him alive?

The Times also cites Dr. Sean Morrison, a professor of geriatrics and palliative care at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, who insists that starvation victims "generally slip into a peaceful coma."
Morrison is the Dr. Death of the left. He would fit in well with his peers who ran the concentration camps in Germany

for the first couple of months, I was very close (I wrested at 189 lbs). I probably could have been ok after only one month, but I got down to 178 at one point and I was seriously considering going for 171, where I would have been a bit better. But I ended up screwing up my elbow to the point that it would pop in and out of joint almost at will so I had to stop. I still had to play baseball after all....
11 elbow dislocations will do that :)

The NY Slimes knows this, of course, because of their intimate involvement with Uncle Joe Stalin's starvation of 10 million Ukranians back in the 30s. The Slimes enabled that to happen (much like Eason Jordan's CNN enabled Saddam to kill thousands) by simply refusing to shine the light of legitimate and honest enquiry on Stalin's Soviets. Birds of a feather, you see, stick together.

Dwindling circulation is a common way that terminally ill newspapers end their lives, it is less painful than violent explosions and requires no help from subscribers, the public maintains.

I go by the old adage that medicine is not an exact science. We have been told that male children do not feel pain when they are being circumcised and I think that is BS. In the early days of AIDS we were told it was a gay cancer-brought on by homosexual activity-again WRONG. Medicine is not an exact science and until someone who has starved and dehydrated to death can come back and tell me that is was not painful I am not going to believe an article in the NYT.
To: Lakeside
yes or water...
one thing about wrestling as well as Iraq and Qatar is that you learn how important water truly is.

NY Times: Starvation Death Not Painful If it is such a peaceful way to die, why does Oregon even have provisions for Doctor-Assisted Suicide?
Death-loving people in Oregon could save money by bypassing the doctor's assistance, and starving themselves to death.
