My mother is in late stage Alzheimer's disease. She has had it for more than w 20 years. She is now unable to walk, toilet, speak reliably, feed herself. She also now has problems swallowing thin liquids, so everything is thickened to honey consistency. Is it time to allow her to die by not offering food?
