Death from hunger (esp. when you're frightened and don't understand what's happening) is neither comfortable nor comforting

Fascinating that you think someone with dementia would be suffering more from hunger then from their condition sapping away at them.
Neither you nor I know what the person with dementia is suffering from.
What you call "comforting" is leaving a helpless prison in the wilderness to succumb to thirst, hunger or predators
Thirst and hunger. They’re meant to die a peaceful death so pretty sure no predators involved.
Go to a dementia facility and hang out with your those people. You will see suffering.

If I was starving to death, the acute sensation of hunger would override everything else in my mind.
Unfortunately someone with advanced dementia does not know if she has eaten or not. Most of the time there will be no eating, unless someone else puts food in your mouth.

You ever hung out with someone in deep dementia ?
But seriously, how do you know that?
