the “debate” is not about technology, you miss what I was saying.
The “debate” is about how we define death and dying because we have “interferred “ with the process, and so, while the medical advances are good, we now have to discuss, or debate “What is dying?”, “How long do we keep someone alive?” ...or “When do we pull the plug?”.
However, in THIS CASE we are talking about food and water, there is no "plug" to pull.
Nutrition and hydration ARE NOT "extraordinary" means like a ventilator.
