I'd like to see some of the no pain crowd go one week without food or water and tell us how fun it is. Speaking of pain, I've been hospitalized for surgery enough times to know that there's a lot that isn't much fun. It's been my experience that even simple things like an IV or a catheter get pretty sore after a day or two, enough that, when you're just lying in a hospital bed, it's hard to not dwell on the pain. I would imagine that a feeding tube would be at least as bad. And I wouldn't want to have to suffer through any of them for an extended period of time.

We are in such an odd place in our history. We keep convicted sex offenders, one of the latest ones had 25 convictions, and still was allowed out. He promptly molested a 10 year old girl, and then killed her... We spend what on them to keep them in prison...$80-$100,000 a year estimated. We give them food, clothing, medical treatment, TV, prayer mats, and all the etcs. Each trial for them costs the taxpayers money. He already said he did it. Maybe instead of spending more money on trash...the right-to-die group could take over, and demand this so-called human has the right to die. He could have the same penalty Terri did.
