Yes. I work for a hospice provider so I’m very familiar with when food and water becomes overly burdensome at end of life versus when its taken away simply to hasten death. The latter is far more common these days than the former, unfortunately.

So you’re saying that these days, the actual death of the dying is often hastened because medical professionals and family members starve and dehydrate the patient...even though this dying person can still eat and drink? What hospice provider would permit this, and why have you not documented and reported the staff to your state boards?
