I have watched it in hospices and hospitals and nursing homes and pediatric units.... I have also participated.....
No matter what the belief is and beliefs are personally held...and should be....it is hard to watch someone die, whether they are vegetative or awake and alert.
Taking out a feeding tube will starve her. Period. Starving can be painful, if she is still capable of feeling pain.
In and of itself, dying is generally not pain free, no matter how it occurs.
Dying is rarely pretty, whether it's court ordered or not.
When we think we are extending life, often we are merely preventing death.
Death is not always the enemy.
