95 year old that is alert but slowing losing her health request someone kill her is not the same as above.
I agree, but for the sake of debate, consider the following:

Technically, there is no difference in a feeding tube and putting an IV in someone that is dehydrated. The feeding tube was invented by medical minds, just as well as the IV. What is the difference between these two? If you're okay with pulling the feeding tube, but not the IV, then isn't that hypocritical?
