I done 2 day dry fast and 3 week water fast. I know something about this stuff. It is VERY painful and stupid.

If relative asked me to help with this, I would just get an illegal gun with all the risks. Much safer!

I am pretty sure in my country (EU) this would be qualified as domestic abuse. Not giving water to senior who can not communicate is gross neglect, probably 2 years in prison. Nobody can simply consent to this, no matter how much paper work you fill in.

And dry fast may trigger all sort of illnesses. If they terminate fast, you end with senior who needs way more care. Kidney stones are particularly painful, and may be unrepeatable at advanced age!
