A "Painless" Death?

Quote:
Wesley J. Smith is a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute and an attorney and consultant for the International Task Force on Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide. His current book is the revised and updated "Forced Exit: The Slippery Slope From Assisted Suicide to Legalized Murder."

Mr Smith, an expert in euthanasia issues, presents the facts on what Terri will suffer in his article "A 'Painless' Death?"

"When I conducted research on this question in preparation for writing my book "Forced Exit," I asked St. Louis neurologist William Burke these very questions.
Here is what he told me:
'A conscious [cognitively disabled] person would feel it just as you or 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 mucus membranes,
and heaving and vomiting might ensue because of the drying out of the stomach lining.
They feel the pangs of hunger and thirst.
Imagine going one day without a glass of water!
Death by dehydration takes ten to fourteen days. It is an extremely agonizing death.'

Symptoms of Dehydration Good description of what happens. And WHY they MEDICATE those they starve and dehydrate to death ... ever wonder why, if it is such an EASY death they need PAIN medications????

"Questions and Answers about "Artificial Feeding" EXCELLENT ARTICLE!!!
