Judge rules fasting patient will be allowed to die
A Syracuse State Supreme Court judge ruled that a 45 year old nursing home patient who has been fasting for 46 days may die and should not be force fed. The patient’s physician testified he was competent when he stopped eating and would not recommend force feeding even if the patient likely dies within days. The man’s guardian Richard Aronson supported the physician’s assessment.
