I believe this is a moral issue and that the technicalities actually are irrelevant. The bottom line to me (as I've stated before) is that it is morally wrong to starve and dehydrate a woman just because we don't like or understand her existence, or she disgusts or frightens us, and her estranged husband with a common law wife and children wants her dead. That to me is simply wrong, and there is nothing that can make it right.

So no matter what the situation, you would be against removing life support? And your phrases such as just because we don't like her or understand her existance, or disgusts or frightens us have no basis at all. Where did you get the idea that those were reasons for pulling the feeding tube? And would you be in favor of removing a feeding tube from another patient under other circumstances? And if so, why?
