Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking (VSED)

Last week, while driving home and listening to oral argument in Quill v Vacco, I was surprised to hear the following awesome quote by Chief Justice Rehnquist.  We certainly will work this into the revised draft of “Voluntarily Stopping Eating and Drinking: A Legal Treatment Option at the End of Life.


CJ:  It seems odd that your bodily integrity is violated by sticking a needle in your arm but not by sticking a spoon in your mouth.  I mean, how would you force-feed these people in a way not to violate their bodily integrity?
