Furthermore, “will not” is distinct from “cannot” in the English language. the first implies that an action *can* be done but *isn’t* due to some choice by the actor; the second that an action is beyond the capabilities of the actor whatever they may choose. The Biblical passage I quoted is widely understood to refer to the slothful, not to the sick and dying or those otherwise incapable of providing for themselves.

Perhaps you could spell out the point of posting that scripture on a thread about a man incapable of feeding himself and whose daughter is making the choice to withhold those basic necessities in order to kill him.

Clearly, Kasem 'cannot' feed himself, yet you posted a scripture about those who 'will not'.

I think I was quite clear. My comment was in the context of whether or not food and water is a basic human right. I’ve said that now three times, so I do hope it sinks in.
