she wasn't starved or dehydrated to death. You talking about not putting a feeding tube in when death is imminent.

Wrong, she stopped eating and drinking and we did nothing about it. She lasted for about a week, and I don't think my family needed your approval.

...she stopped eating and drinking and we did nothing about it.

So, then, she was capable of making the decision to die on her own; at least on some level. She voluntarily stopped eating and drinking, and you and your family gave tacit approval to her unspoken request that she be allowed to die.

I do not see anyone on these boards arguing that a case like this be altered in any way. Nor do I see anyone suggesting that any government entity should be dragged in to "evaluate" cases like this where there is no dispute about the wishes of the dying. FWIW, I think your family did exactly the right thing, as difficult as I imagine that it was.

Please, be at peace about the choices you have made, they are not in dispute, here.
