Given enough drugs, it might not be as bad, but still, it’s not gonna be pleasant for sure, and I’m not sure they give enough drugs to keep a person so drugged out thatmthey don’t realize what is happening.

It should be that a person is “made as comfortable as possible while dying”, and that woild include keeping them hydrated, and as pain free as possible. It seems unconscionable to allow someone to slowly die of thirst or even hunger.

Agreed. It sounds of torture to me.

What was shocking in the saga I mentioned, was that the patient wasn't terminal. To be sure, "Dad" wasn't tap dancing and was probably advancing to an end of life situation. However, the fine print of "comfort care" was that is was perfectly peachy to withhold fluids.

I'm redoing my papers.
