Just as an FYI, withholding food and water is usually only an option where the person is incapable of doing it themselves. And in the cases I am personally aware of, you could have brought in a steak dinner and cut it up and served it to them...and they would still not have been able to eat or drink.
They don’t walk into the room and look at a conscious person and say, “No food for you.”
The whole process gets twisted every time it comes up around these parts.
‘Dying people’ don’t generally want to eat....they have no need to.
The reference I was making to those who are dying.
