well giving Morphine to a person being starved and dehydrated WILL ACCELERATE HER DEATH. Same difference but more PC.

Why does she need morphine for "this peaceful process"? I guess they want to kill her quicker now.

No, it's not "same difference", and it's not PC.

I've pushed morphine on dying patients, I know all about it.

But I wouldn't obey a court order to do so, if it was not clinically indicated, since I do not believe any court has the power to order me to do it.

Ordering that someone not be fed is an order to kill them.

It's not like an order to give pain relief, it's like an order to shoot someone.

This power has never resided in US courts before now.

Where does it come from?
