Is this a specific person you care for?
No, someone I know.
If so, has the person made his peace with God?
Yes. A priest came a few days ago, and administered the Last Rites.
Do you have some objection to the use of a feeding tube?
It's not my decision. The person was in a hospital for several weeks (while being able to eat and drink), and the doctors said that the heart and kidneys were shutting down, and that while they could perform surgery, he would likely die on the table. The person decided against the surgery, and went home. After arriving home, because the organ failure, the person began to deteriorate, as the doctors said, and can no longer eat or drink.
Either way, death is approaching, but because the person said no more extraordinary measures were to be taken, no feeding tube is going to be put in place. I'm just wondering if a feeding tube is necessary morally speaking, even though he will die soon anyway.
