Thanks for the comment, I guess it could be seen like that. I still think that being ”politically neutral” is more like being disinterested in politics and/or lacking introspection.

I do not believe one can really be politically neutral. One can be blind to their political inclinations, but what would being neutral even mean? Everyone has their views and values.

That was an anecdote about the medication in question, not a random namedrop. Prozac is fluoxetine.

Thank you for this comment. I have also worked a bit with hospice. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation regarding this issue. I find it sad that some are left with the incorrect notion that their loved ones were denied care at their last moment. I.v. fluids may somewhat alleviate sedation of a dying person, but they can increase swelling, formation of pleural fluids and cause shortness of breath. If a dying person won’t drink anything anymore, it’s mostly a sign that they don’t need any extra fluids.
