What should I do if my loved one refuses to eat or drink?
When is it okay to suspend nutrition and hydration?
What to do if medical personnel pressure you to accept treatment that you feel is not morally acceptable?
Is a breathing tube considered “extraordinary care”?
Is a breathing tube morally different from a feeding tube?
How do I know when it’s okay to let go and stop treatment of my loved one?
How do I handle challenging situations concerning DNR (“do not resuscitate”)?
How do I handle the guilt of making a decision that ended a person’s life?
And more . . .
