Food and water is a basic human need. To not provide them constitutes murder.Not in the state of Florida. Under these circumstances, and under the supervision of a physician, removing the feeding tube is a standard if sad medical treatment. You don't like it, change the law according to the procedures established.

Food and water is a basic human need. To not provide them constitutes murder. You can offer it. You can't force someone to take it. And you can't forcibly install a feeding tube or keep it in against someone's will. That is a fundamental violation of our constitutional rights.
