Exactly, they want to make it as horrific as possible so the public demands euthanasia.
Remembering the court ordered murder of Terri.

There are suicide web sites out there.
You can buy helium and a plastic bag.
Rather than put her mother through this she could have done helium.
Mother would be just as murdered.
Throw NYSlimes reporter in jail for murder
bfl
Sitting there and watching her own depressed mother starve to death. We used to call this parricide. I do not know what to name it today? Perhaps “nameless horror?”
This woman should be sitting in a prison cell for murder.
Was Terri Schiavo not enough???
What makes THIS story even worse is that this “reporter” was so desperate to publish a book, she used her mother’s death.
Disgusting!!!
If the mother decided this herself, it’s quite different than the daughter withholding food and water. Not quite the same as Terri Schiavo who had absolutely no control over what happened to her. I’m sorry the old lady was so depressed she wanted to die, but no one forced it on her.
Right, that’s a right she has. Just don’t involve the medical profession.
This woman thinks she did her mother a favor. I think she was worried about the cost of her future care. Sick, sick people.
What a cold blooded bit*th of a daughter.
Karmas gonna be a beech when it catches up.
No other word for it and doesn't deserve any more words.
Her efforts would have been better spent helping to make her mother’s life happier and worth living despite its infirmities.
OMG!!! The Nazis would only DREAM of this!!
Freeper responses are encouraging on this. The general population may be morally confused but most people here are not. Encouraging.
“A Bittersweet Season,” published recently in the Daily Mail, Jane Gross describes her mother’s increasing dissatisfaction with life as her health deteriorated, and her mounting desire to die, despite the fact that she was not terminally ill.”
So what was she doing in hospice if she wasn’t terminal? How did she qualify for hospice care? I watched my M-I-L die of Parkinsons disease and she did not qualify for care in a facility until she stopped eating and drinking on her own and had refused to a feeding tube. Still, this was a tragic way to go. Why could they not give this woman drugs to ease her discomfort as opposed to dehydration?
So sad how we handle our elderly. Sounds like the author just wanted her out of the way. I hated to see my M-I-L leave us.
