Re: "It would seem to be cruel and unusual punishment were she not in a vegetative state."

I cannot take the word of these guys, as the courts have.

With a human, even with a liquified cortex, there is simply no way to know what she may be cognizant of. Does "spirit" mean anything to us? Or must we believe there is nothing "there" in her? We cannot yet make life from nothing and there may exist "spirit" which lives on beyond death, without which there perhaps can be no life as we know it. To allow this sort of slow death is purely the result of a failure to separate church and state, Imho. Christian Science wins in the courts in this case, or so it plainly seems.
