if we had not intervened and placed a feeding tube in her, she would have died - period.

Why is removing someone from a respirator at the end of life considered ok but removing a feeding tube isn't? Isn't air just as important to food when it comes down to "living"? They are both artificial means of life support.

When you remove a respirator, death takes minutes. Starving someone to death is cruel and inhumane. It took weeks as we all witnessed. There will never be justification for starving someone to death, there just never will be. It is a horrible way to die.

Also, I am up at the nursing home four nights a week helping to feed my grandma who has alzheimers, should I just stop feeding her?
