how come when some one of old age is dieing in a hospital is it illegal to uthinize the person so they dont feel pain but its legal to starve and dehidrate the person to death?
Answer:
That is based on the presumption that not providing food and water is a covert action with no direct act intending on inflicting death, where as euthanasia is an overt act where you are introducing a chemical to the person that you believe will cause death.
The slippery slope theory is that if we allow euthanasia for certain conditions, why not others and who decides who gets the needle and who lives?
The other systemic failure is the moral christian belief that the Bible says "Thou shall not kill"; when in fact it says "Thou shall not murder". Killing was very big in biblical times, but murder was another story.
corrupt government practices contradict their ownselves.

I can't understand that either. I watched Dr. Phil the other day and there were triplets who were all deaf and blind. I would not want my children to have to suffer through that. They will never be able know anything. It's terrible!
I don't have an answer for it. I think that they are both the same... not that I agree with either one.
It's ridiculous, and unjust. We put Dogs and Cats "to sleep" But we pull the feeding tube on humans and left them starve to death.
Good point. You figure that it would be a lot less painful to the dying person to give them a shot and let them die peacefully. Rather than dehydrating the person to death. Let me tell you from experience even mild dehydration is almost unbearable. Imagine having a really bad hangover and times it by 100 that is the equivalent of what these people are feeling in the few days before their death.
starvation is death by cessation of aid - usually when someone is so beyond a conscious existence as we know it, they survive only by means of a food tube or IV hydration
euthanization is death by intent - it implies to me that someone is not beyond a quality of life, as is understood the case to be w/ the previous type of example
for example Terri Schiavo - was "starved to death" instead of euthanized because the Bush family wanted to exploit her tragedy for an election year political wedge issue and thereby had the euthanization option banned thereby humiliating a defenseless coma victim for political gain
