Try and pay attention, people.

I wasn't arguing the validity of her final wish (although the sole source we have of that being her final wish seems to be her incredibly creepy husband). What I was arguing was the manner of that death. It's babaric, and it's just plain wrong. We don't let people do that to dogs, why in the name of all that's holy, sacred and true are we doing it to a human being?

(Plus, I can't find my damn wallet so that makes me even grumpier.)

The rationale is that one is not killing, one is allowing death to happen. Administering a lethal injection would be killing. Disconnecting food and water apparently absolves those who do it, because the death results from inaction instead of action.

Bullshit if you ask me, but there it is.
