Is dialysis normal care that a dying person must receive? I do not think so.
When my friends husband was close to death, in a coma from a severe stroke..She asked the Doctor if he was going to get scheduled his "dialysis" that day. The answer was NO. They didn't use the words "futile care"...but a person can't survive a many days in total renal failure without dialysis. But he was near certain death with no chance of recovery.
He only missed one dialysis, and died that same evening anyway.. PS..I have no opinion on this case..
