Ego and a power trip! It didn't take a lot of words out of his mouth to figure it out.
I decided to try and find info about 'not giving a feeding tube' to a patient. Something I was curious about since The 3 Euthan-eers are insistent about having Terri's feeding tube removed and not just ceasing the feeding.
If someone will die sooner if they don't receive tube feedings, then the $$$ to the hospice wouldn't be as much if the patient's life span is shortened.
I found this:http://www.caregiver.org/caregiver/jsp/content_node.jsp?nodeid=399
Some strange comments in this are :
1 "people receiving tube feedings may not be able to avail themselves of hospice services."
2.If the family chooses not to insert a feeding tube, the patient and family may have decided that this person is in the final stages of the illness, and that they are now willing to allow death to occur. This decision does not mean “starving someone to death.”
3. IV hydration can prolong dying rather than prolong living.
It seems to me that they are as evil as the abortionist who says it's just tissue, it's not a baby. They are accepted as experts because they work in places where people die so their word is gospel? It seems obvious to me that not feeding someone "IS" starving them.
Why would a feeding tube prevent a person from entering a hospice?
I do believe that there is something else Felos is working toward.
If people aren't going to be in hospice as long if they don't have a feeding tube then the issue is really the advancement of euthanasia.
