My 5 year old had a feeding tube since he was a baby (a g-tube). It is just a little button on the left side his abdomen that goes directly into his stomach. You'd never know he had one unless he pulled up his shirt.
What do you think of this from " TERRI SCHIAVO MARCH 2005 DAILIES ," post # 6,439
....Kenneth W. Goodman, co-director of the Florida Bioethics Network and head of the University of Miami Bioethics Program..... said the legislation would create barriers for people who want to control the end of their lives.
It also "misjudges" the medical use of artificial nutrition and hydration tubes, which are intended to be used as a "bridge" when someone suffers a debilitating medical problem until they can get better, he said. Goodman said those devices are not intended to be permanent.
