Actually, I just had a very worrysome thought.

According to Ken in his interview with Glenn Beck, when his mother suffered from her aortic dissection she was in a coma for three months before she woke up and resumed her normal life.

Mae's living will specifically states that she may be denied nutrition and hydration if she is in a coma. If Mae goes into a coma and Gaddy is still her legal guardian, she can then legally kill Mae.

I'm not a lawyer, but I see a different meaning in Mae's Living Will. (Page 31 WND copy)

Scroll back to my post #2212. I was questioning the intent according to the wording and how Mae marked it. The way I'm reading it....she authorizing them to 'PROVIDE' it, not deny it in the event she is in a coma or PVS. I'd be interested to have other opinions

You have a heart of gold. Let me try to put your mind at rest; Miss Mae is now in a hospital. Under the care of medical professionals. Even if she slipped into a coma as the result of her condition, the fact that she once before recovered from the same, would prevent her IMO from being removed from the care of her physician. Remember, the rules of admittance to a hospice are that she has only six months at the most to live. Ask yourself, under what circumstances would her current physician sign such an admittance form?
