127. a p[erson in a coma
on a respirator dies within minutes and is in a coma, they do not have any idea. That is life support. A person on life support has no function without it.
A feeding tube is used in anumber of cases, and is technically life support, but it is not the same as a respirator.
A person starved to death will waste away painfully and her family would have to be miserable as they know the daughter is going through prolonged agony and misery.


In the history of the judicial system, I have never heard of an invalid being forced into starvation by her husbands wished and with the consent of the government.

If you really want her dead, you can take her out to the everglades and cap her in the back of the head and feed her corpse to the alligators.
That would be more humane than what they are doing now.
