An Extremely Agonizing Death

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.
