I hate to say this but " I told ya so".

Keeping people on feeding tubes will cost a fortune , It will be the taxpayer who will foot this bill. Call me a member of the death cult all you like, but when the time is up for a person to be taken off the feeding tube someone has to make that decision , not making it only adds to the suffering of all concerned. Yes .01% of the time someone may wake up like the Firefighter but miracles dont happen every day.

Being on feeding tubes for year after year is evil, in many people's minds.

The law requires no OTHER 'treatment'. If the person is declining and going to die, then the person declines and dies, fed or not. But if the person will not die when fed, why kill him.
