I have to agree with you here Davo. I am all for the removal of the feeding tube and seeing how she does on her own, but lethal injection?? What's the point? That's just wrong. She didn't do anything wrong to have to die THAT way. It's sad she's going to die at all, but man, that's just harsh. If there was another way to feed her without the tube, I am sure the docs will find it. If not, and she passes, she won't be suffering anymore. I highly doubt she enjoys being the way she is now, and apparently her directive to her hub was to let her go, but it's her parents who are defying her wishes.


I see the removal of the feeding tube as a form of killing, as it is pretty much known that she won't survive without it. Just as bad as lethal injection, but far more painful because it happens over a course of weeks and not hours. Something about "cruel and unusual punishment" fits in here ... we don't even starve our criminals to death, why would they want to do that to her?
