Buttmunch, I applaud your passion about this issue. Knowing that you are a man of conviction, I can only respect your view. I to do not wish any further suffering for this woman or her family. It is a tragic situation that one would not wish on anyone. Unfortunately as a society, we are light years away from legal youth in Asia (props to Ali G for that one!). Kevorkian tried to push that issue and lost. If there ever was an argument for mercifully ending a life, this is it.
Seeing as the only legal avenue available to end this woman’s suffering and the suffering of her family is to stop feeding her, I support the wishes of her husband. In the end the religious fanatics should find peace in knowing she met her God. My Christian upbringing taught me that the journey to God is what we live here for anyways. If she is not going to accomplish anything else along her journey, then let her finally come to the end of the road.
