Here's a quote from Kevorkian: Even the infamous Jack Kevorkian, Dr. Death, in an effort to encourage support for his assisted suicide practice, spoke about the cruelty of death from starvation, taking from 2 days to 2 weeks for a patient die: “allowing someone to starve to death and to die of thirst, the way we do now, is barbaric. Our Supreme Court has validated barbarism. The Nazis did that in concentration camps…It took her (Nancy Cruzan) a week to die. Try it! You think that just because you're in a coma you don't suffer?” (Clowes) ........ while I am fully supportive of euthanasia, I think the "eu" needs to be emphasized.
