Cynthia Davis: Let the children starve, but force feed the terminally ill

O’Fallon loon Cynthia Davis called hunger a “positive motivator” last year and suggested freeloading children get jobs at McDonald’s if they want to eat.

This year, Davis is concerned about feeding people who don’t want to be fed. Davis is sponsoring H.B. 1235, which would require terminally ill patients to be fed by feeding tubes for 60 days — even if they’ve said they don’t want them.

And after the 60 days, health-care providers would have to  feed the patient food and water by mouth three times a day.
