"The lack or loss of work, or its strong precariousness, has serious implications on family life"

As per Pope Francis, "The lack or loss of work, or its strong precariousness, has serious implications on family life, severely testing relationships. The living conditions in disadvantaged neighbourhoods, with housing and transportation problems, as well as the reduction of social, health and educational services, causes further difficulty" (6/3/15 General.Audience; http://www.zenit.org/en/articles/general-audience-on-poverty-and-the-family)

First, by declaring artificially-administered food and water (ANH) as a form of 'life support' and then, granting third parties the ability to remove ANH (feeding tubes) from persons with disabilities, it became effectively legal to deny a human being food and water against their will in the
