That plea of a totally immobilized but conscious person parked all day, every day, in front of a TV by his keeper is a staple of streaming videos and crime stories.
I get it.
It would be my plea, under those circumstances.
And what's the merit in keeping somebody alive who can be kept from going mad with anguish only if you keep him drugged out of his skull all the time?
The terminally ill should be allowed to die
The piece is actually about physician assisted suicide.
And that's a step beyond "Thou shalt not kill; but needst not strive / Officiously to keep alive[.]"
And, yes, it covers only the terminally ill.
That's just not good enough.
