    medical treatment is normally withdrawn in Pall care and in VAD as well as by some who decide for themselves to no longer take their prescribed medications.

    only drugs the patient consents to are retained. mostly to deal with symptoms.

    but withdrawing medical treatment means the return of symptoms that caused them to need medication in the first place. this can be more suffering p8led on top of the terminal condition.

    Wang I don't want to try to persuade you, and I'll only answer questions from my professional experience.

    the reference to "natural lifespan" term is used to describe withdrawal of treatment. providing only pain relief and other symptomatic measures.
