Removing the feeding tube is sick... even if she can't feel it
Advertisements [?]
I think removing the tube is wrong. There is no point in having her waste away. It is a disgrace to her life and legacy - just like the last 15 years were. I only wish euthanasia was legal. It would be so much quicker (and more dignifying) and we wouldn't have to hear about this case for the next 3 weeks. Yes I think it should be removed because it is the only option, but it shouldn't be that way. One little injection could make this whole thing go away. And don't kid yourselves, once she is dead it will only a few days before she is out of the news and the plifers will find some other pawn to promote their cause. I don't mind being a little cynical about this because it is just a body! If you believe in spirits, I am sure hers passed on years ago. This shouldn't have ever made the news. Her husband is her guardian and even if she never told anyone her wishes, he has the right to make that decision. I know I wouldn't want my parents 'overruling' my wife if I were in that position.

Sorry for the rant, I am just sick of this whole damn event. I feel bad that all she will ever be known for is being a brain-dead tool for the Republican Party.
