Reply #59: Maybe there is a nurse reading this to correct me

[recoveringrepublican]

if I'm wrong, but my aunt is a head nurse at a nursing home. We were talking about Terry, and my aunt said that people like Terry already in the process of dying don't feel the starvation sensation. That their organs slowly shut down and then they die. That it's not that unusual to pull feeding tubes and that in a case like this it is not cruel.

I remember when my husband's grandfather was dying. One day he just refused to eat, said he was no longer hungry. He died the next week. He never seemed to be in pain.
