You need to understand that food and water are not “life support” any more than oxygen is.
Although I am tired....I will wade in here.
I am a seasoned "health care professional"...so I have some "blood, sweat, and tears" in this "fight".
That being said......and in my IMVHO...the operative word is "life".
Not going to get into what I've "seen" and what I've "watched", nor what is, IMO "life" and what isn't....
