Even if they "ate" liquid or pureed food there would still be some risk of choking. I guess the only way for them to totally avoid the risk of choking would be to have an IV. But then there's the risk of infiltration, and a whole host of other problems. . .
Everything in life involves some sort of risk. We just have to weigh the risks and figure out which ones we are willing to live with and which ones we want to do our best to avoid.
