Let it be known that if I was in a vegetative state, I would NOT want to be alive. Or even if my mind was functioning but I had no control over my body, I'd want to be put to death ASAP. But not starved.
The sad fact is, that would be the most humane method for thousands of people who would prefer to choose to end their suffering every year, but it's illegal in your country.

Although, in Terry Schaivo's case she's in a completely incognisant vegetative state. It's not the painful, cruel way for a person in her condition to die; nothing like all the rightwing Christian wackos are describing in the media this week. That's shameless propaganda used to garner support for their cause. THOSE are the true opportunists in this case, not her husband.
