know the difference between a feeding tube and a respirator.
know a feeding tube is not a machine, it is, however, an implement or a tool.
understand when a feeding tube is removed, death is slow, by thirst, not starvation. That's not a pleasant fate.
consider the possibility she may be in excruciating pain without the ability to communicate those feelings to those around her.
have also been personally closer to a SIMILIAR medical condition than hopefully 99% of you will ever be.
There's also supposed to be a component of compassion to Christianity but I guess that's not as much fun as being judgemental considering the fate of a patient. There is short term suffering for eternal reward.
I shouldn't expect people to consider that either.
