An Extremely Agonizing Death
Arnold Ahlert at the NY Post writes:
Since Terri [Schiavo] can breathe on her own without a respirator, the only way to ensure her demise is to remove her feeding tube. This means death by dehydration.
Dr. William Burke, a neurologist in St. Louis describes the process: “A conscious person would feel it [dehydration] just as you and I would. They will go into seizures. Their skin cracks, their tongue cracks, their lips crack. They may have nosebleeds because of the drying of the mucous membranes, and heaving and vomiting might ensue because of the drying out of the stomach lining . . . death by dehydration takes 10 to 14 days. It is an extremely agonizing death.”
LaShawn Barber, paraphrasing a Michael Savage rant:
Liberals will hold vigils for murderous thugs on death row, thugs who are receiving the due penalty of their errors, but when an INNOCENT brain-damaged woman whose husband has two kids with another woman and may have put her in this state is facing death by starvation, they’ve got nothing to say. The greatest cause is protecting INNOCENT human life. Where are the feminists? Where are the Mumia Abu-Jamal clowns?
And if you haven’t seen the St. Petersburg Times ad “censorship” issue, go here and here.

Thinking off the top of my head…
Savage, sigh… And I to suppose that the proposed manner of her death outrages him so much that he’s rethinking the death penalty? Yes, death penalties involve the murder of guilty person, so it is different, assuming you trust the system to never make a mistake.
If there’s no awareness, the presence of pain is not felt by anyone.
If a ‘brain dead’ person’s autonomic responses are still working, the only acceptable means of euthanasia I can posit is some form of painless lethal injection. It certainly is easier for all involved. Currently not legal, though.
But if it’s reasonable to suppose there’s any consciousness there, can’t touch it.
