I agree. If a person is being kept alive by life supports, I don't really
have a problem with taking them off. I do have a problem with removing
feeding tubes, etc. Basically, this is equivalent to starving the person to
death. I think when we begin playing god in who should live and who should
die, we're on very dangerous grounds. Who's going to make that decision and
on what basis?
