The point I think most of the "let her die" advocates are missing is that she COULD suffer.
This whole discussion by laymen (i.e. not doctors), stating that a portion of the so-called medical opinion (mostly unattributed) is of a view that she won't suffer, just plain and simply isn't enough.
If we don't know if she is capable of suffering, then we have an obligation to prevent her potential suffering.
I said it before, I'll say it again: if she is to be euthanized, then kill her quickly.
Letting her starve and dehydrate, while unable to know her potential suffering is murder.
