Media Release | 4-6-05 | The Family of Mae Magouirk

[DJ MacWoW]

Would you be willing to call those Fransican Brothers from I think it is Minnesota? The ones who helped terri? On behalf of Mae.

I could do that tomorrow morning? Yes? I'll track down the info on them and call.

[Ohioan from Florida]

I wish that all those who think a mentally challenged person doesn't have a right to live a different sort of life than what we're conditioned to think of as normal would read your post and understand why some of us are fighting so hard.

"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH Granddaughter yanks grandma's feeding tube 81-year-old neither terminally ill, comatose, nor in vegetative state -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: April 7, 2005 7:33 p.m. Eastern By Sarah Foster © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com In a situation recalling the recent death of Terri Schiavo in Florida, an 81-year-old widow, denied nourishment and fluids for nearly two weeks, is clinging to life in a hospice in LaGrange, Ga., while her immediate family fights desperately to save her life before she dies of starvation and dehydration. Mae Magouirk was neither terminally ill, comatose nor in a "vegetative state," when Hospice-LaGrange accepted her "

etc. I have written to the newspaper in LaGrange - mainly to let them know this is receiving the light of day - (I'm a columnist in New Eng. - so she'll know it's getting out)

combat_boots,

Would you volunteer to contact Jessy Jackson?

he came in to late for terri, but he was a powerful speaker.

These cases are Human Rights cases and politics are nto really a factor. Are you up for calling jessy?

[nicmarlo]

How does that square with the "medical professionals" who say the only way to tell is to actually see the patient in person?

How does judge Greer's reliance on supposed experts who made their "PVS" decision, based on a 45-minute, one-time, visit square with ACCEPTED standards in diagnosing PVS: many hours are needed over a LONG period of time?

[Smartaleck]

"2) Does not advertise in the National Enquirer..."

ROFLMAO.

Does Jean Dixon channel peer review? Inquiring minds want to know.

[ExPatInFrance]

Ohioan,

Could you possibly call father Frank Pravone. I might have the spellig wrong. You know the Priest who helped terri?

[Cboldt]

I was wondering, why exactly do they need to see a living will if she's not comatose?

I'm speculating. The hospital and hospice are run by the same family/money interests. Grand daughter is tired of running errands, granny could live 5 -10 years more; but now that she is sedated post surgery, perhaps is a good time to assert control. The wisehs of grand daughter and the health care industory are in harmony! Not coordinated, I don't mean that. No conspiracy. Just mutually convenient timing and objectives.

THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY AT THE HOSPICE DOESN'T LIKE ME...

Congratulations. That means that you are doing an excellent job!

[eeevil conservative]

Kenneth told me he had the email addy for Hyscience-- but I can't find anything either!

There is info here though:

GLENN BECK IS TRULY MY HERO! I LOVE HTIS MAN!! I AM AN INSIDER-- My local radio dropped him-- so I listen to him via internet now!

THANK GOD! I WOULD GO NUTZ WITHOUT MY BECK-- okay- I am already nuts...

[Cboldt]

It has been suggested that people use the "Will to Live" instead. Isn't this ridiculous? You now have to have it in WRITING that you want to live.

In legal parlance, that is referred to as "shifting the burden."

Attorney for saving Mae’s life: Jack Kirby, Kirby & Roberts, (706) 884-2992***

[Smartaleck]

"Like the bloggers that revealed the forged documents on CBS? Or the ones that dug up JFKerry's past?"

Or Geo. Bush didn't serve out his term in the Natl. Guard and did cocaine? Phhhhtttt

[ExPatInFrance]

eeevil,
Would you volunteer to be the Free Republic Contact into Mae's family, meaning her brother, sister and nephew.

It seems like you have already spoken to the nephew.

Basically when freepers call The Priests, jessy jackson and others, they would give out you name and phone number and you would alert the nephew to the incoming calls. Of course you would give out your contact information by private FR mail, NOT here on the thread.

That is a BIG Job, would you be willing to take it on.

So you would arrange with the nephew that Jessy jackson will be calling him at 2pm etc. Give Jessy the Nephews phone number and be kind of a FR liason.

It is a big job, would you be able to take it on?

[combat_boots]

Roger that.

[Fred Nerks]

"How did Felos change the law? I thought only the FL legislature could do that...when signed by the gov.?"

To the best of my recollection, the new law was signed by Gov Bush but I have seen no record of any legistlation to that effect. I am following this from Australia, the thread I posted might provide more informaton.

[schmelvin]

Don't you dare call me pro-death, but I was wondering, why exactly do they need to see a living will if she's not comatose?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. How did I manage to call you pro-death when you hadn't even posted to the thread yet?

BTW, I was not refering to any FReepers at all when I said:

"I really hope FReepers aren't so thrashed from the Schiavo fight, that we stop duking it out with the pro-deathers as we hear about this sort of thing happening more and more."

I was refering to The Hemlock Society, Partnership For Caring, Choice in Dying, The American Euthanasia Society, etc. Those are the Pro-Deathers.

Those are the people I want us duking it out with, not each other!

As for "why do they need the living will if she isn't comatose"? That's a good question. I could speculate based on other cases I've heard about, but I won't. I don't want to get any false rumors started; I just want the facts.

[eeevil conservative]

ROTFLLLLL!!!!

BTW- I am no hero.. I am one you all!!! We all inspire each other-- we are a team!!!

[maine-iac7]

Hospice-LaGrange accepted her as a patient about two weeks ago upon the request of her granddaughter,

Another angle we need to check out and get out to public - I believe Hospice's are not, legally, supposed to accept a patient who is not terminal and expected to die within 6 months???

Terri's plight may well expose a giant "kill at will" system in place across the country. It gives me the chills but does not, shudder, surprise me.
