I read somewhere online, here on freep IIRC(relating to Terri's 'death procedures'), that morphine is given in case the starved person survives to the point of going into gran mal siezures, then they won't fight the siezure.

Can anyone confirm this?

Here is the bottom line, as I see it:

As Freepers, can we do anything collectively, and there are alot of us, to overturn this process? eg. petitions, emails and to who?

No, the morphine is given for pain, for grand mal seizures, a sedative is given, usually valium.
I had to give it to someone terminal who had seizures, orally, in drops, usually instant stoppage of seizures.
