What would you do?

Reading this article I have a couple of questions:

1) If you were going to die would you want it quick and painless or drawn out?

2) If Dr.'s and nurses who stayed to care for the ill for four days without electricity in over 100 degree heat are being arrested do you think we could arrest the assholes at the top who left them there in the first place (Brownie? Bush? Nagin? Blanco?) and charge them with second degree murder?
