Shannon, don't be so fucking hysterical - you never knew her either. Starving her was the only legal way to let her go. If you give someone a drug overdose you are actively killing them. Does "death by lethal injection" sound familiar to you? She was unable to feed herself, and so was given nutrition as part of her care. Withdrawl of care is valid - homocide is not. The law is an ass - but it's the best ass we've got...
