[quote=Anonymous]If Lasik is for fluid retention, and he isn't doing dialysis, what will likely happen is that his heart will fill with fluid which will cause a heart attack. He will drown. It isn't an easy way to go, nor is it without suffering and pain. My father died of renal failure when his port for his dialysis stopped working, which caused fluid to drown his heart and give him a heart attack. It took 4 days. He severely suffered. My MIL had a severe illness that ultimately is terminal that had no concrete life expectancy (could be 1 year, could be 20 years). After 3 years, she convinced a hospice center to admit her, they thought she would pass in 48 hours. It took over 30 days, basically she starved herself/died from dehydration. But it was what she wanted. This wasn't in the US, not sure that would have been allowed here.[/quote]
