I’d be happy to be the source for Joseph’s statement. My only quibble is I’m not sure why suffering is in quotation marks. There is very real suffering that many elderly experience, and hospitals and halacha for that matter, sometimes “let the patient die rather than try to preserve his life.”
OBviously, the two are not always in agreement and this is where problems and mistrust arise.
But the suffering is very real, and shouldnt be minimized by quotation marks,even if you would come to a different conclusion than the hospital.
