I don't understand this country. They fervently fight to make capital punishment for convicted criminals as painless and humane as possible, so they came up with lethal injection. However, they will let an upstanding person, whom they say are in a vegetative state (although this is still in argument) and can't feed and fend for herself, die of thirst and starvation.

Without a written will, how can we be sure 'beyond reasonable doubt' that what she wanted was to be starved to death now that she is what society calls "useless"?

Victoria and I were talking about this the other day. I think it's messed up that the parents have to watch their child die. That really sucks.
Also, the husband is married now and appeared to have moved on.
These situations are always really sad no matter what.
