I hope your idea of assisted suicide at least involves the patient making the decision (and perhaps a quicker method). Of course. It wouldn't be "suicide" if it weren't the patient's choice. I'm all about choice. Now if a patient had a living will that explicitly stated to deny themselves palliative or any other care - thats their decision and would make inserting a tube an active and unwelcome intervention. Still trying to understand you with precision. The active/passive thing is getting mixed up with the voluntary/involuntary thing. If the patient expressly articulated that he wanted his feeding tube removed, you would approve removing it, or not?
