think they ought to give her a heroin OD or something if they're intent on letting her pass away. Give the person the best drugs known to mankind and sail them out on a hell of a great ride. Then they'd have to acknowledge that what they're really doing is "putting her down." This way they can rationalize it by saying that they just "withdrew" food and water. If this case has a lesson, it is have a written advance directive. BTW, the directives I have seen lately have the option to check whether the person wants both nourishment and hydration withdrawn or nourishment only. I've been informed that withdrawal of hydration can be quite painful.
