Contrary of public belief

  • Doctors do not need a court order to withhold or withdraw artificial nutrition and hydration.
  • Relatives do have the right to challenge this in a Court of Law but are not informed of this right. Why not?

    Find out

  • Is the patient only dependent upon artificial nutrition and hydration because they have been (questionably) sedated?
  • Ask for the sedation to be reversed.

    It is a very painful way to die (read some reports by people who have survived it).

    If you suspected the removal of artificial nutrition and hydration from the one you love, which of the four people above should you go to?
