Starvation (or more appropriately dehydration) causes no suffering. read up on the facts before making such claims. there is no pain involved at all... the person goes to sleep and then enters a coma long before any of their organs shut down.

Eh, I didn't know that. I was always under the impression that starvation was a slow and painful way to die.

This whole Shiavo thing has showed me how much people lack any sort of class or decency.

Once I saw the thread title, I had a feeling it was the Maddox page. The animated gif is so great.

it is a slow way, but there is absolutely no pain involved. that is why it is preferred among most planned suicides (note a shotgun to the head or a hanging generally isn't a planned suicide. they are spontaneous, or relatively at least). you lose the ability to stay awake (and you become weak) long before anything potentially painful hits you.

True, the "hunger" feeling only lasts a few days, after that you just grow weak as your body consumes itself. You'll lose conciousness well before the end.

Blah... This whole Shiavo thing has showed me how much people lack any sort of class or decency. Not only do you make fun of people who are braindead, but you celebrate once they die and start to make fun of them even more.

Just when you think the liberals couldn't sink to a new low.
