Dying Patients are NOT Starving |
 |
Pro: Families believe that loved ones are hungry and should receive food and water up until the last day they are alive or they will be uncomfortable and in pain.
Con: Dying patients experience a lack of appetite and thirst and sometimes refuse food and water. Forcing food or water will only result in the possibility of choking and providing nutrition intravenously is a choice that can be made in a living will.
