I have just learned that a man in his mid-70s in Denver will be starved and dehydrated in a hospice beginning Thursday. He had a brain tumor last year and has never recovered. Turning off the breathing machine is one thing, but withholding food and water is another. Pray that this man dies before morning to avoid the horrors that he will otherwise face.
Is he attached to a ventilator or just a feeding tube? Do you know any more about him? Does he have a death document (I refuse to call them 'living wills') stating his wishes?
