Aspiration v. Starvation and Dehydration?
The St. Pete Times reports:
An attorney for Terri Schiavo’s parents asked a judge Monday to allow her to be fed by mouth once her feeding tube is removed on March 18, though a lawyer for her husband said such efforts would be unsuccessful.
MediaCulpa rips into George Felos for this quote, where he is making the argument for not attempting to feed Terri Schiavo by mouth.
Such a death from aspirated food entering her lungs would be painful, Felos said.
“Mrs. Schiavo is entitled to a peaceful death with dignity,” he said. “She’s going to aspirate and she’s going to have an extended, gruesome death” if fed.
He says:
What does Felos think we’re going to do — shove an entire Buffalo wing in her mouth? Spread tuna on a Ritz cracker and force her jaws up and down? Give us a little credit.
And the irony of Felos being worried about her pain — when he is happy to have her die of thirst and hunger — is more than we should be expected to bear.
Dawn Eden reacts as well:
Let me get this straight.
Death by aspiration is “extended” and “gruesome.”
Death by starvation and dehydration is “with dignity.”
