Okay, wait. Some people are arguing that it's okay to starve and dehydrate folks who are terminal. Um...that hurts. How about kindness, compassion, mercy and letting God take the terminal patient in his own time. It's quite possible that in those last few minutes HE gives them, they will turn to him for salvation...
Any way you want to look at it...dehydration is extremely, horribly painful. And being terminal does not make you less human.
Looks to me like the same people who are arguing that she was terminal (death within six months, we are not all terminal) are also calling Mullinax's claims of withheld nourishment false. I don't see anybody arguing in the manner you suggest.
