Being kept alive by machines is NOT living.

I was primary caregiver for my mother , bedridden for 10 years. Didn't know where she was...but I knew she was at home.

I would not have had her hooked up to begin with. She died at age 94. She would have not chosen to live that long in her condition.

What machines? Food and water are not extravagant for someone you care about. Why would they be considered extraordinary for someone else?

A feeding tube is not machinery. Any more than giving a baby a bottle is being kept alive by machines.
