[QUOTE="jayem, post: 73963230, member: 8344"] I'm certain that if G-tube feeding and hydration is discontinued he will still have some IV access in place and will be kept heavily sedated until nature takes its course. He won't feel a thing. Edited to add: This situation is somewhat similar to that of my own father. Who died 14 years ago in his late 80s. He had advanced prostate cancer metastatic to his spine, causing spinal cord compression. While not paralysed, his legs were very weak, and he was bedbound. Towards the end, he stopped eating and drinking on his own. But he had an IV morphine drip which was titrated upward until he was asleep. And he died about 24 hours later very peacefully. [/QUOTE]
