"No one should "go home to Jesus" via starvation and dehydration."

People die. None are exempt from this requirement. Rarely is our exit from this realm pleasant. Whether by dying one inch at a time from cancer or by blunt force trauma from an automobile accident, "good" people sometimes suffer.

God is in control here. We are witnesses to His instruction. Try to learn from all of this . . .

Terri Schiavo has been ordered by a state judge to be killed. Your right, we should all learn from this

People die, so let's help them along? I honestly don't get your point.

Of course good people suffer. And when we have the chance to avert that suffering, we should do it. You mentioned a car accident - should the paramedics at the scene decline treatment because "good people suffer"?

This woman is being forced to die. I agree God is in control. That's why as a society we shouldn't try to wrest control from Him. We should be caring for her until He decides otherwise, not pushing her into His arms.
