The last caller of the day today on Limbaugh's radio program was a woman who watched as her mom starved to death after having her feeding tube removed. It was not a pleasant death.
She described her mom's skin as taking on a liquid look, her ears curving inward from the lack of moisture, her eyes sinking into the back of her head, diarrhea, skin rashes, sores in her mouth and on her skin, blindness, no gumline left in her mouth to put her teeth in, and five long days later, death.
The culture of death lets people believe that this is a humane way to let someone die. It's not humane, it's so damned barbaric that it belongs to a medical profession...from about four hundred years ago.
Cruel and unusual punishment for someone (Terri Schiavo) who has become an inconvenience to her cheating husband.
