1. It's been about exactly four days.

She is dying of dehydration and has sedation. She cannot feel anything, is not aware of anything. With no cerebral cortex, she cannot possibly be in pain, as there are no centers for receiving any pain messages from the body. (I stated the previous two sentences in case there are still DUers who think she can feel anything or be aware of anything with no cerebral cortex.)

I think it would almost be crueler to reinsert it now, when she is so close to finally being totally at peace.

I just hope Schiavo is allowed to be at peace, allowed to be let go. Fifteen years is too long to be kept like that, too long.
