No. Michael Schiavo was talking about how painless of a death starvation and dehydration is. This sentiment has been widely echoed by those on that side.



Well consider that without a cerebral cortex she can't feel pain, I find it hard to believe she's any more pain today than she was 2 weeks or 2 years ago, myself. Granted I also don't believe she's any more "peaceful" either, since without a cerebral cortex one has neither the ability to feel the pain nor the ability to feel any sort of emotion, which I imagine being "peaceful" would qualify as.

So, personally, I find both sides of that particular argument to be rather ignorant of the facts.
