Ask the veterans from WW2 who were POWs if it wasnt painful or not.
Oh thats right! I forgot! The NY Slimes doesnt recognize veterans as human beings. My bad...
These doctors who say starving and doing w/out water is "not painful" depend on dosing the patient w/liberal doses of morphine to make it not painful. They themselves should be required to undergo 2 weeks w/out water and food in order to make their statements creditable.
