If you take an infant. And leave it alone and dont feed it, and it dies. You practically killed it. Because the infant cant fend for it self.

A feeding tube is only required if a patient is incapable of swallowing. The inability to swallow is a fatal pathology, and circumventing this pathology requires medical intervention or treatment.
An infant, parapalegic, etc may need assistance in feeding, but they have the ability to swallow. There is no comparison between the two.
