Feeding The Permanently Unconscious And Terminally Ill Or Dying Is Not Always Compassion, Phebe Saunders Haugen Jan 1989

Feeding The Permanently Unconscious And Terminally Ill Or Dying Is Not Always Compassion, Phebe Saunders Haugen

Faculty Scholarship

A surrogate decision maker may conclude that efforts to mechanically provide liquid nourishment would cause considerable suffering in return for little gain. But such a decision is unquestionably one that can produce great conflict for families and for medical caregivers. Assessment must be made of each patient's situation and of the benefits and burdens that will result if tube feeding is withheld or withdrawn. It may well be, however, that in some cases, the most humane and compassionate treatment for a patient is the withdrawal of all technological interventions, including those that supply nourishment.
