re: Frenchman dies after 9 days of court-ordered forced starvation

There are countless drugs that can end a life quickly and painlessly, so why would they let him starve over 9 days instead of giving him too much morphine or anesthesia?

This man wouldn't have suffered so much if so many people weren't against euthanasia. You can blame the courts for his death if you want, but his suffering is due to the people that fight to keep euthanasia illegal.

"It's murder in disguise," Vincent's 90-year-old father, Pierre Lambert, told reporters at the hospital earlier this week. "It's euthanasia."

Is it murder or euthanasia? It can't be both. Putting someone out of their misery doesn't take 9 days, so it seems more like murder. It's definitely torture.
