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.)

Her husband is not the sole source. Something like fifteen of her close friends have testified that she always said she did not want "heroic measures" to be employed to keep her body alive if she was effectively dead.

That said, as Eleri pointed out, yes, in the name of all that's humane and compassionate, allow her a quick, painless death with dignity. Not this fucking seven-year legal freakshow.
