I easily believe that hundreds of feeding tubes are removed from patients who are otherwise terminal, that is, they are terminal even with a feeding tube.

So what do you think about removing feeding tubes from stroke victims who are not "otherwise terminal"? I answered your previous question, it seems to me, so perhaps you will answer mine.

If they aren't otherwise terminal, I think it is abhorrent and unethical. You may well be correct, that the removal of the feeding tube is the initiating agent of demise in these "hundreds of times a day."

Thanks in part to your open dialoge, I'm starting to see that a substantial fraction of the population has a view of the value of life that is radically different from my view.
