Since the bible was written BEFORE feeding tubes and scripts. How did you draw the view that pain killers and sedatives are comfortable; but food is not?

I didn't "draw that view". I listened to Catholic scholars who say that extreme means for keeping someone alive are not necessary or called for. Keeping someone pain-free is good.
