We oppose the non-consensual withholding or withdrawal of care or treatment, including food and water, from people with disabilities, including newborns, as well as the elderly and infirm, just as we oppose active and passive euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Translation: We can’t accept the fact that we lost the fight to indefinitely keep brain dead Terri Schiavo on life support.

Extrapolate the implementation of such a policy just a few years into the future, healthcare costs dominated by care for zero hope patients with no cognitive ability whatsoever and coma wards as a growth industry. Imagine nearly every family having a brain dead relative in the hospital. The family unable to bury them or move on, haunted unnecessarily by the unthinking husk of a loved one sustained artificially and against their will on life support.

GOP policy, taken to it’s logical conclusion, is some incredibly cold shit.
