I have to disagree with the "no pain" thing though - she can absolutely feel pain. What she can't do is "suffer," which is a uniquely human trait limited to people with intact cerebellums: the addition of significance to events.

You're correct in the sense that I don't know what it is to starve to death. However, what makes me qualified is knowing what everyone else here knows....that starving is not a pleasnat experience. If you wanna believe that she's not suffering because it helps you sleep better, fine, but please do not presume to know whether another human being is suffering or not.
