Wow. Everyone should watch the video linked in the article.

If you don't see the link, I've re-posted it here.

This is a beautiful girl. She is only brain damaged, not a "vegetable" (whatever that's supposed to mean). She looks like many other brain damaged patients I've seen -- who did slowly recover.

I can't believe we have sunk so low as to allow execution of persons who are merely disabled.

"She is...not a "vegetable" (whatever that's supposed to mean)."

It means that those who would take her life need to peremptorily declare her a "non-human" so as to assuage any guilt they may have about killing her.

Withholding care is not execution. Inflammatory language obscures rather than clarifies complex issues.
