I posted this yesterday at another thread:

"Here's from Rabbi Aryeh Spero:

"Long ago Jewish law made a distinction between withholding medication and special treatments from a patient as opposed to withholding food and water. Whereas there comes a time when we are no longer required to proactively employ “heroic” medicines and treatments to keep a non-functioning body operating, it is always necessary to continue feeding a patient."

You can find that at Human Events Online, today's version."

If they are so all-fired anxious to allow their so-called "natural death," then they would be attempting to give her food and water by mouth. But they have denied that route even though evidence is clear that she used to be fed in that way that we feed our babies.

To institute oral feeding would mess up the plans to kill her.
