Can a convict on death row be placed in a drug-induced coma and deprived of nutrition until they die or would the Supreme Court rule that particular act to be "cruel and unusual punishment?"
For that matter, are those who advocate the removal of Terri's feeding tube even pro-capital punishment?And if a sentence of death is to be carried out, isn't it more compassionate to put a pillow over her head and press down firmly? A minute or so and it would all be over instead of the week or so it will take after the tube is removed. Wouldn't the pillow be more compassionate?
If we are hungry or thirsty, there are many things in life that distract us from our discomfort. Not so with Terri. She can only lie there with nothing to distract her from her hunger and thirst, hour upon hour. Just her mind and starvation. Just her mind and dehydration.
