Tube-feeding At Thirty-thousand Feet: De-mystifying Assisted Nutrition/Hydration & Other Life-Enhancing Decisions

  • This workshop is designed to explain assisted hydration and nutrition from the perspective of the user. Techniques are described and a demonstration is offered as well.
  • Further, we explore some of the ideological considerations in making decisions about nourishment, and do so from the “Equality of Life” perspective in contrast to the prevailing “Quality of Life” mindset which dominates modern medical practice.
  • A fundamental assumption underlying this workshop is that all people have equal worth, therefore all medical decisions should reflect the inherent dignity of every human being.
