11. burrowowl, I TOTALLY agree. Depriving a person of WATER is horrific
Edited on Sat Mar-12-05 01:57 AM by loudsue
Just try to go without food and water for 2 days, and see what happens to your mind. It's being deprived of water that really makes you CRAZY... and I don't use that term lightly. By the 4th day without water, your body joins your mind in being crazy. It's the most inhumane, horrible torture that any person can go through.

I'm speaking from experience here.

The food becomes SOOOO secondary to the water. Yes, you get hungry, but LONG before the hunger really hurts, the dehydration has already made your electric system (in your body -- and your mind is one PRIMARY electrical system) start going berserk...totally haywire, and it is horrifically painful: MENTALLY, emotionally, and physically.

Morphine is a good thing. Give the person enough morphine to put 'em down, ANY DAY, but FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T let them die of dehydration!!!!
