[Awestruck]

A certain number of established and often "well respected" Freepers who have weighed in on the side of death in this fight.. Some of their comments have turned quite ugly, mimicking what you'd see on DU.

[nicmarlo]

On the May 18th Fox News O’Reilly show, investigative reporter and best selling author Richard Poe gave an expose on Soros. Poe claims Soros is a maniacal figure who fancies himself as a New Age Messiah and that his philanthropy funds abortion, atheism, drug legalization, sex education, gay marriage, and globalization. He is out to destroy America as we know it, says Poe. In a Newmax cover story, Poe writes of the dark purpose behind Soros’ $200-million “Project on Death” program.

Hospice + Soros = Death

The Will to Live

When Marjorie Nighbert entered a nursing home after having a stroke, she did not expect to be starved to death, but that is what happened when she became a victim of her own "wishes."

Like many people, she did not want her life to be prolonged when death was imminent. So Nighbert created a durable power of attorney (DPA), in which she gave her brother control over medical decisions in case she could not make them for herself. And according to the family lawyer, Nighbert said she did not want a feeding tube if she became terminally ill.

When Nighbert fell ill the nursing home followed the orders of the DPA and denied her food and water for two weeks. But then something unexpected happened: She asked to be fed. A court battle ensued, and the court ultimately upheld the nursing home's decision to deny Nighbert food and water. According to the judge, Nighbert was not competent to ask for food, and to give her food would constitute "extraordinary means."

Nighbert died on April 6, 1995.

Excerpt from:

http://www.feministsforlife.org/taf/1995/winter/wiltoliv.htm

To prevent people from suffering the same fate as Marjorie Nighbert, the National Right to Life Committee (NRLC) has created the Will to Live. This differs from the living will by being based on a general presumption for life. It is also much more detailed to avoid ambiguities that could later be interpreted in favor of death. Currently, the Will to Live is complete for fourteen states: Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, West Virginia and the District of Columbia. The other states are in various stages of preparation and will be completed soon.

I called the Hospice (706-845-3905) and was told that unless I was family I could not receive any information on their patients. I told the woman I was not asking about a medical diagnosis, but wanted to verify whether a Mae Magouirk is there.

I spelled her name and she looked and said that she is indeed at the hospice.

I'll call the reporter at the newspaper back aftr lunch to see if he's come up with anything. Other than that I don't know what to do. I'm 3-4 hours away.

[yellowdoghunter]

Thanks for posting that. That is reprehensible. It is much worse than I had ever thought.

[yellowdoghunter]

Thanks for the info. You are doing all you can. We will all pray.

In re Fiori Pa Dist Cty Rep. 1993 Feb 3;17:558-65.

Pennsylvania. Court of Common Pleas, Bucks County.

KIE: The Pennsylvania Court of Common Pleas for Bucks County ordered termination of life support of an incompetent person after consideration of the state's interest in the preservation of life. Fiori had been permanently comatose and in a vegetative state for over 17 years. At the time of his first brain injury from a car accident at age 21 which rendered him unable to communicate, until his second brain injury, Fiori had not expressed an intent about life-prolonging treatment. His mother sought to discontinue nutrition and hydration. Noting that Fiori's life was without content much less quality, the court ordered the nursing home to end all nutrition, hydration, medication, and other life-sustaining procedures. The court based its decision on a best interests standard derived from a report of the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine and Biomedical and Behavioral Research.

In re Martin, 538 N.W. 2d 399 (Mich. 1995)

...Yet, in spite of these facts, both a MI probate court and the MI Court of Appeals ruled that nutrition and hydration could be withheld from Michael. One judge held that Michael's response indicating that he wanted to go on living was irrelevant given his impaired condition. Michael's mother, Leeta Martin, and his sister, Patricia Major, in an attempt to save Michael's life, appealed the case to the state Supreme Court. (For more background information, see Update, July-August 1994).

Upon appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court:

The Court concluded, "Accordingly, we reverse the Court of Appeals determination because [Mary Martin’s] testimony and affidavit do not constitute clear and convincing evidence of Mr. Martin’s preinjury decision to decline life-sustaining medical treatment in the form of a gastrostomy tube that provides hydration and nutritive support." [p. 29]

EV: I once thought hospices were a good thing. I was naive. They are obviously the nose under the tent by the death cultists.

I agree with you, EV.

"George Soros' Agenda for Drug Legalization, Death, and Welfare"

Publisert 1997-01-15

Described by the New York Times as "The world's single largest donor" (Dec. 17,1996), Soros uses his philanthropy to change - or more accurately deconstruct - the moral values and attitudes of the Western world, and particularly of the American people. While others give to the arts and higher education or to better the quality of the lives of their fellow men, Soros funds campaigns for euthanasia and to legalize illegal drugs.
Rachel Ehrenfeld, Author, New York, USA

"I am sort of deus ex machina- I am something unnatural," George Soros says of himself. (Read On)

I have been reading more of thesecases and am sad to say that in the majority of them I have looked at the Courts lean toward death. Sad days.

[FourtySeven]

Thanks for the info. I hope this story isn't true. I don't know what more outside people can do to confirm or deny this, unless one or both of the family members fighting for Mae go to the press with thier story.

Correct; and a reasonable person would ask "why?" Why this shift? There is a reason behind this. A reasonable person would not dismiss this a coincidence; rather, it points to an agenda.

Ping.
