Q: Is a Feeding Tube Really the Way to Watch You Dad Go At Age

My dad is 90 and has been in the hospital 3 times in the last month for pneumonia and now they are talking about putting in a feeding tube. He is living at a assisted living home because of dementia.
We are having a family meeting tomorrow to discuss weather or not to allow it.
