Perhaps the fact that you have no first hand experience with death and the dying makes you write such trite nonsense about this case. Your lack of experience and understanding of this process and the issues it raises are duly noted -- perhaps if you had some direct knowledge of these things you would have a more informed opinion. This woman should be allowed to die in peace, with her loving husband at her side, quietly and without the indignity of the political circus atmosphere create by the radical "religious" right for their own petty purposes.

I don't get it. We go to ridiculous lengths to protect convicted felons. Why won't we do the same for a woman that was permanently injured in a car accident? She deserves the same rights for food and nutrition as convicted killers. I hope we can get some real tort reform in the US to limit medical malpractice so that doctors can deliver affordable healthcare. It is insane that doctors have to pay $120K per year in malpractice insurance. That damn near wipes out the compensation for family practice doctors in most rural communities. We need to trust the doctors on the basis of good samaritan ideals. Handing the money to an arm of GE that insures against malpractice is certainly not the solution.
