Death by Starvation Too Good for Prisoners?

By Carrie K. Hutchens

It seems that if one is opposed to the starvation/dehydration death of the disabled and aging he/she is readily labeled a fanatic by many of the death culture followers. Amazingly, these people (I speak of) feel that only fanatics could possibly find anything inappropriate with their philosophy and actions. After all, one would think, by their attitudes, that some god gave them the all-knowing insight and the ultimate power over life and death. (And they call us fanatics?)

I may not be the most intelligent kid on the block, but I do still have a few marbles rolling around the turnpike.

How is it against the rules to fail to feed and water animals and prisoners, but quite acceptable (and apparently encouraged) to do this very thing to the disabled and aging?

How is it torture? How is it cruel and unusual punishment, if done to animals and prisoners, while being a natural, peaceful and painless way to go when done to the disabled and aging?

Oh... I know... it is a matter of "right to die".

The "Right to die" argument appears to be the changing of the subject to try to confuse the one supposed to be the fanatic of less intelligence that simply doesn't understand how these wondrous peoples are "allowing" the disabled to die a beautiful, peaceful death that they wouldn't wish on a murderer, nor allow to be done to one.

And I am the one confused?

Reality check here!

If it is "merciful" to put a disabled person to death by starvation and dehydration, why is not likewise "merciful" to put a convicted murderer to death in the same fashion?

I get it! I get it!

Sophistication. That's what us fanatics don't have under our belts of humanity.

We haven't yet reached the coldness of deciding another has become a useless "thing" with the "right to die" by our mere decision.

We also haven't been able to reach that state-of-being that says that all people that commit crimes do so because society caused them to and and that we have become "grand" for being tolerant and trying to make the rest of the world oh so less judgmental and more criminal friendly".

Fanaticism blamed for torture-death opposition?

Maybe it is time to review the positions, facts and titles before the blame somehow then becomes our personal doom!
