"I did talk to a nurse friend, and she said Terri's death will be painless."


Logically, one cannot say whether her starvation will be painless if there is not even a consensus among experts regarding her level of awareness, let alone if she is indeed in a PVS. Beyond that there isn't even a consensus about PVS itself. Definitions vary.

Also, this is what I wonder about concerning those in favor of starving Terri Schiavo: if you think her condition warrants mercy killing than why starvation? Why not something quicker like lethal injection? And why not have some backbone and say emphatically that you support the legalization of euthanasia?

Court sanctioned euthanasia is abominable; worse than that is starvation as the method.

I never said any such things. I was taken from context, again.
