That's the most vile thread I've seen on FR. I thought we had moderators that were supposed to prevent that kind of thing?? I hope the death culture hasn't taken over here.
They've locked the thread, their reason
"pain in the ass"
Yes it's true a guardian can remove "life prolonging procedures" which thanks to Jim King includes the feeding tube which many Floridians rely on on a daily basis.
I just went and looked because of a comment on the thread re the laws etc.
""""""
765.306 Determination of patient condition.--In determining whether the patient has a terminal condition, has an end-stage condition, or is in a persistent vegetative state or may recover capacity, or whether a medical condition or limitation referred to in an advance directive exists, the patient's attending or treating physician and at least one other consulting physician must separately examine the patient. The findings of each such examination must be documented in the patient's medical record and signed by each examining physician before life-prolonging procedures may be withheld or withdrawn.

That wasn't done. The guardianship statutes are a farce depending upon who the judge happens to be. Those statutes state removal of a guardian for "conflict of interest" although Jim King's office says it isn't in there.
Never mind the long list of acts of corruption detailed by the Empire Journal which could land a few folks in jail for obstruction or medicaid fraud.
I just don't understand that so many folks defend the breaking of laws. It is the emotional side of the argument that will defend a position which if researched well would not have been supported to begin with.
Yes we definitely need to change the laws in Florida but the ones we have weren't followed.
