I don’t know what is going on in this family anymore than you do. I’m going strictly by this particular article and the description of his condition.
If they are withholding nutrition to hasten his death that is immoral, unethical, and illegal. The article states they did give him tube feedings and his body will not digest it. If that part is true, they can feed him all day long and it will do nothing but put him in fluid overload and that will kill him. I’m sorry some of you don’t seem to understand the way a body functions when a person is dying but as a hospice nurse I deal with this every day.

I’m curious what planet you live on.

This is pushed by Doctors now.
