Well, this is just not true. My Mom was a Hospice nurse in Phoenix for 15 years. They help with home nursing and pain meds, but the only way they would quit feeding is with doctors orders and family support. And only if the patient was so far gone that they couldn't digest.
Hospice is mainly for family support and to help in the transition towards death.
