@gravity3 no, I am talking about a patient in a hospital with a broken hip who is left to die without food and hydration because the doctors decide the patient won’t survive the surgery. So the alternate was to let the patient die of starvation. Patient did not make that decision - doctors told family that is what they should do and family went along with it, making this decision for the patient. Patient was not consulted.
