EagleWing BS: High Court Rules In Terry Schiavo Case (171* d) RE: BS: High Court Rules In Terry Schiavo Case 25 Mar 05

McGrath says It always has struck me as the height of legalistic hypocracy for withdrawal of food and water to be somehow seen as an acceptable way of bringing about death in a way that doing it directly is not.

I have to disagree with you on this one McGrath. The point here is that the food and water are not so much being "withdrawn" as the forced feeding being stopped. We're not talking about starving the person but no longer force-feeding them. By removing these artificial stimuli the body is allowed to take it's natural course - to die.

Leastways, that's how I understand it.
