Default Re: Question about this case...

[ QUOTE ]
My question is why, if the decision to remove her feeding tube is irrevocable, as seems to be the case at this point after the SC's ruling, they wouldn't just give her a lethal injection and get it over with without her having to die of thirst/starvation? Would anybody on either side be opposed to this?

I don't think euthanasia is legal in the U.S. Depriving her of food/water via removing her IV is the closest thing to it that is legal. That's my take and best guess, Sam.

And yes I would be opposed to it.

Also, if she can feel pain she clearly isn't brain-dead.
