Aren't feeding tubes themselves painful? After my mom watched my grandfather die with one (actually of one, his advanced alzheimers led to the placement of the tube which gave him pneumonia) she made us swear that we would never allow that to be done to her.
I'm not sure of where I stand on the issue. It's too hard to know the real facts, but I just wondered about the pain issue.
