Out of options

Well, Terry Shiavo's parents are out of options, and there she lays in that bed...no food or water. We discussed this before class today. My instructor worked in Nursing homes for years, he explained to me that in that state there are no brain waves, that's what makes it different from someone who has, say Huntington's...in those cases there is upper level brain activity. But I still don't know. I don't know if I actually believe that she can't feel pain. Although, the fact that they have her filled up with Morphine does help. That would help a fully aware person with severe pain. I truly hope that she can't feel what's happening to her, I truly hope, as John said, her system will just slowly shut down and she will fade away peacefully.
