That you don't understand that feeding tubes are pulled in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices every day of the week and compare it to the holocaust is just plain ignorant.
"That you don't understand that feeding tubes are pulled in hospitals, nursing homes and hospices every day of the week and compare it to the holocaust is just plain ignorant."
Ignorance has nothing to do with it. Babies are pulled from their mother's womb and murdered "every day". Does that make it right?????
If the patient is being kept alive by artificial means plus being nourished by the feeding tube, I believe it can be a moral act to disconnect "artificial life support".
That allows God and nature to determine if and when the person is to die. Terri Schiavo is not (never has been)on "Artificial life support".
A gastric feeding tube is NOT considered to be "artificial life support" by today's medical and moral standards.If the patient is not dependent on "artificial life support" in order to live......then it is murder to deny him/her nourishment. It is called "starving to death".
