Is heart surgery, open chest etc., painless?
Yep.
It's painless. And people die every minute from having life support disconnected.
Dad and sister died from having oxygen turned off, and I promise you, it was painless in both cases.
Open heart surgery would be very painful for a conscious person. And isn't for the unconscious.
This is another Elian, where some people's impostion of their "values" on someone else's life is unconscionable.
And cruel.
