Feeding Tubes and End-of-Life Decision Making

Conclusion

The sanctity of human life principle does not require us to resolve all of life's injustices or understand all of life's circumstances. It does require that if we are to err, that error should be in favor of life, not death. Although there are undesirable consequences that can arise from over-treating people, providing too much for too long perhaps, there are even worse consequences that emerge from a culture that becomes accustomed to viewing death as a solution for expensive, undesirable lives.
