[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Each bite of food she eats or refuses is her making a choice to live or die. If she wants to live bad enough she’ll eat something regardless of what is offered or figure out an alternative.[/quote]

Spoiler alert: a lot of people with mental illness don't particularly want to live. Eating disorders are the most deadly mental illness. [/quote]

Precisely. Accommodating them is insanity.[/quote]

Your conclusion from the statement that you agree with (people with mental illness may choose not to eat because they don't have a strong desire to live) is that is insane to make accommodations that encourage them to eat...and therefore die?[/quote]

Yes it’s insane. Why prolong the inevitable.

There will be food offered, OP isn’t planning to starve a dying woman for a week. [b]There’s absolutely nothing you can do to encourage someone else to eat.[/b] It’s a grown adult, they make their own choices. Accommodating stupid choices is asinine. [/quote]

The bolded is just false.  She can be encouraged to eat by making foods available that she is likely to eat.

We can just disagree on whether it is "stupid" to do that.[/quote]
