...i asked my mom, who's a doctor for old people, and she said you cannot legally inject her with something. you HAVE to let her die on her own. it's considered murder if you inject her with something. if you want her to die, starving is the only way to do it. she's basically dead though, so it's not like it's painful or she even realizes or feels anything.
