Defend or refute the withdrawal of hydration and nutrition on the basis that they represent extraordinary care
Arguments here will probably center around the idea that hydration and nutrition are, in some sense, food and water, which seem to be the right of all persons. There is an argument that, in these cases where we have invaded the body with tubes and such, we are no longer talking about food and water but rather invasive medical procedures. Now assuming that these medical procedures are without benefit, perhaps they are extraordinary care.
