Christa Pike on a ventilator and unconscious after failed Tennes

#msg6022642Cbear : Maybe. I feel she dehydrated herself on purpose turning down food and water. She knew she has bad veins and it would not work.

#msg6022535Cbear : I am not a fan of the death penalty, even though some people (like this woman) certainly deserve it. I think a lifetime of solitary confinement is probably a greater punishment than death by lethal injection (except in this grizzly case it seems). Unfortunately her lawyers now get to argue "cruel and unusual punishment" and the whole legal circus will drag on for another decade or so (assuming she survives of course). I am also all for due process, but you have to wonder.... Is 30 years of due process better than 20? Or 10? Or 5? Why the heck did it take them this long? At some point you either have to do the thing... Or not.

#msg6022530TEXASGIRLMAMMA : See, I would think the opposite....costing the hospital money. Anyway, this is a lose/lose. So many people hurt and will never forget.

#msg6022600Heard she has the worst internal chemical burns you can imagine, extreme pain, especially inside one of her arms. The issue is RX companies don't want to be associated with it and don't want to make these meds. However, they had no problem doing it in Poland and Germany during the war. Don't know what will happen, but it sounds like the work around they are doing for the meds are pretty painful and people thought it just stopped the heart. In countries that have assisted death, device they go into that looks like an egg, wondering if they will go that route.
