Even a brain-stem can feel pain, nobody doubts that. Just because there is nothing human there, no cortex, doesn't mean that we can't ease the pain of whatever is left behind.

The shills say over and over again, moral tone ringing:

"If she is really dead, then euthanize her. Let whats left behind go without suffering"

or....

"If my dog [....] and I treated it like this, I would be arrested"

Ask Ashcroft and Bush about euthanasia. Ask the Right To Lifers about euthanasia. The reason that whats left behind can't be painlessly and humanely treated is because the very same agenda that seeks to keep her alive.

You want consistency and reason here, look to the nutjobs directing this play and whipping up the national moral frenzy over this.
