Yes, the dead should be allowed to die. I can't think of anything worse then being kept "alive" when brain-dead. There is just no dignity in it at all.

She wasn't brain dead.   If she were, she'd need a lot more than a feeding tube.

Well what the hell was she then, exactly?

The medical term is unresponsive wakefulness.

Sounds like basically the same thing. Even worse maybe.

Her Cerebral Cortex had been utterly destroyed and the rest of the brain showed extensive damage. Her body may have been alive, but Schiavo herself had been dead for years by the time they pulled the tube.

This guy gets it.
