Sorry, whats the difference? Isn't that exactly the right everyone who wants euthanasia to be legal fights for? To not have the lives of loved ones extended unnecessarily if it is painful and causing them distress?
His life was reduced, regardless of by how little, by the decision not to feed him and to provide morphine so starvation did not cause discomfort. Thats euthanasia and in the circumstances you described its perfectly moral.
Don't cheapen that by trying to employ a double standard so you can separate yourself from others who have done the same.
There's a big difference, you're to dense to see it or you just like making a fool of yourself. I believe it to be both, we did not starve him, that would take several days you idiot, he had about 24hrs. without the food there was no need to extend his or our suffering, and as I stated it was his wish, He told us to do nothing that would extend his and our suffering, quite a noble love for us.
"without the food there was no need to extend his or our suffering"
Translation; he died sooner than he naturally would of because he wasn't fed.
Thats cutting someones life short to prevent further suffering.
Thats euthanasia.
If you can't deal with that and want to continue with your dellusion then don't present it as evidence euthanasia shouldn't be legal because thats grossly hypocritical and I will call you out on it.
