Those who sign “advance health dare directives” in times of good health should read this tale of a relative’s slow and painful death by the pseudonymous “Zombie” at Pajamas Media.
So whatever you sign make sure it does not say that you want withheld “nutrition and hydration” because the bean-counters will happily take you at your word.
If we should make as our form of national execution death via withholding food and water while keeping the condemned passive with morphine, how quick would the Supreme Court rule it to be cruel and unusual punishment?
It really does look like convicted criminals are better treated than our elderly.
Ouch! What an awful way to die.
