I JUST barely saw this on CNN.com and Mark & I were talking about it. I am so very horrified by this whole deal, at least from the slant of the news cast that I saw.

They said that it could take up to two weeks for her to die. How is that not MURDER any more than giving an overdose on a pain killer. That sounds very slow and painful. Furthermore, they said they would give pain killers if she was in pain. But they won't give food.

I'm just burning up inside over this news item. I agree with Pam, " Somehow the idea of pulling a plug on a person on a respirator with a flat EEG seems to be in a different realm than what we have here although both are dreadful thoughts."

All I can think is what if, just WHAT IF she does have awareness of what going on, and her whole brain is screaming out to make them stop, but she can't communicate her will to live.

And one other thing....according to the news, her husband is the one who really wants to end this ordeal. Who's to say that he doesn't have ulterior motives?? Such as just wanting to get on with his life, or get remarried??

I'm going to be praying for her parents that they might find peace through this whole ordeal. It just doesn't seem fair that they have no say in what happens to their daughter, but that somebody else is going to try and end their daughter's life.

It's all so upsetting!
