true
but sometimes dehydration is not combined with starvation. Either way a nice dose of a killer drug would be much more humane. That's what I'd like. Being shot in the head is better than starvation too. People are really very stupid creatures much of the time. I can't say I'm thrilled to be a member of such a limited race of creatures.

I do not understand why the hospital is allowed to make a decision that she CAN'T be fed. I can understand that they can unhook life support. Life support is a choice to do or not based on medical benefits. Why can't the parents feed her if that is their wishes and the other side believes she is not harmed or helped by any kind of intervention?
