"Voluntarily stopping eating and drinking is an underrecognized, infrequently used and often misunderstood means for dying patients to hasten death. With good symptom management and hospice support, most people are able to achieve a peaceful death. Rather than threatening to call the police, the hospice nurse should have explored the nature of this woman’s suffering, explained the option of fasting unto death, and promised to provide emotional and palliative support throughout the dying process."
