Pro-euthanasiacs try to convince folks that physician assisted death is a "private" matter. Of course it's not private -- others are dragged into the picture.
My grandma could eat right up 'til the end. She was actually eating breakfast when she died of a heart attack. Even if she'd had a food tube, I'd never have considered pulling it. (By this time, she'd fallen and broken her hip and then had a stroke so we couldn't understand what she was saying.) If my aunts had tried something like that I would have fought them any way I could have to protect my grandmother from them. Well, only one aunt is the kind who would have possibly tried something like that.
They were doing a procedure down in Mexico to help people with congestive heart failure (I read about it in Time Magazine), I presented it to my grandmother for her to decide. She decided it was too experimental even though it was supposedly by then being tried at the Mayo clinic.
Also, it was more than just an enlarged heart with the congestive heart failure, her heart valves were all messed up and she would have had to have surgeries on those and I don't think she would have made it through all that.
But it was her decision not to go through a surgery like that. She died peacefully and naturally in the nursing home.
