Instead of feeling pain, the patient experienced the characteristic sense of euphoria that accompanies a complete lack of food and water. She was cogent for weeks, chatting with her caregivers in the nursing home and writing letters to family and friends. As her organs finally failed, she slipped painlessly into a coma and died.

Wait wait, I fail to see how this is funny. Mind enlightening me?

Because its such BS. How could starving to death be "euphoric", really? Think about it.

Why what ever do you mean?

Me thinketh he is making a point about the media and the lengths it will go to convince people they are right.

They want Shivo to die. That's political, that they would write a story this absolutely RETARDED that only a tabloid reader should believe... is unbelievably funny.

She's braindead.... what the fuck is she gonna feel. That's not a person anymore it's just a body. My grandma was pritty much in this same situation, feeding tube and all. Except she was NOT in a comma, alive and well, but Hospice pulled her plug anyway. So this ain't a "who the fuck cares" opinion.

Wow, the people at bohica are pretty thick. I posted this same topic over there and they got all pissy and locked it.

Yeah, but would you want Jen to, 6 months after you were injured before there was time to see how bad off you were, to move in with some guy, bare 2 children by him and repeatedly ask "when is that bastard going to die" and refuse you treatement?

Sorry Hamma, this guy makes me sick. Meh I wish I had never heard of the case. It sux all the way around.
