My wife is a Nurse and she works in a Dialysis center. I have seen patients with a good quality of life, get their treatments and be functioning human beings in society. I have also seen patients who are in the same state, get dialysis treatments and be totally unaware, of what is going on. There is and remains a quality of life, in cases like this her remaining days will be spent in the same condition. To extend this would bring a quantity to life, but not a quality. She has been in this condition for 15 years, if she would have recovered she would have done it in the first 5 years of her condition. This is not starvatation as we know it, just like in dialysis the body would begin to shut down and the death would be peaceful. I know becuase my grandmother passed away, this time last year. She chose to stop dialysis, because her pain was too much, she died peacefully.
Falcon, I share your POV on this matter.
I must have mis-understood what the original poster implied. It was early in the morning and I think I took it to mean the opposite of what he might have meant.
