Removing a feeding tube, which is essentially starving a person, is a questionable grey area between the two.

If you had an infant (incapable of feeding herself), do you think you would be charged with murder if you withheld food from her until she died? Or is that a grey area too?

It is a topic complicated enought that it could not be done justice being discussed here. Read a few books on Medical Ethics.

I guess you are saying it is a grey area, if you think you need to read books on medical ethics to decide if starving a baby is murder.

What I am saying is that they are not necessarily the same thing, and that the quick comparisions used here do not do the topic justice. I would debate the topic further, but I do not wish to spend the next 100 hours discussing the issues involved.
