Not medically accurate.

Tell you what. If you want to kill something by starvation, buy a sick horse. Only don't do it in Texas, because you'll be arrested for mistreatment and neglect of the horse.

Think, Man. Review your history. "J'Accuse!" was a popular movie utilized in Germany to jump-start the acceptance of euthanasia in that country. The story line was about a man who killed his wife out of "mercy." Within years, the categories of those who could legally be killed had grown. In the Netherlands, doctors began quietly killing terminal patients to empty beds earlier and save healthcare funds. They lobbied for the right to do so legally and won. They continue to kill even more people, illegally. The next law allowed killing of children, and now the "doctors" of the Netherlands recently announced that they had been killing sick newborns, lobbied and won the right to do so legally. Belgium has followed.

When there is discrimination between which humans are human enough for protection from killing and which ones may be killed - or even ordered killed while their mothers and fathers are forbidden to offer a spoonful of water to their daughter - the categories of those who are killed increase, the treatment of the borderline cases becomes less careful, until finally the horror becomes so great that the very name of the facility or political group becomes synonymous with evil. Phnom Penn, Auschwitz, Dachau, Andersonville.

I do not believe animals should be more important than human beings.

I do not believe that people should be force fed when their bodily functions to process food have shut down permanently. I believe that God ordains that process and a feeding tube supplants God's purposes for that person.
