If a terminally ill person chooses to die by refusing food and water that is their choice. A feeding tube would be abusive. If you are a hospice patient a feeding tube is not allowed. It is considered curative and that is not the mission of hospice.

After experiencing hospice in my little town with multiple "patients “. Haha.
My decision is that I will die alone on the filthy cold tile floor of a public restroom before I consider hospice!

Long story short.
