I've read the whole thing now.
Finally! One brief piece that untangles this whole mess and gets to the heart of the life & death issues in the case of Mae Magouirk. I think even someone who hasn't closely followed the case like we have would "get it" from reading Gibbs' statement.
It should worry every American that Mae's Living Will has been completely ignored. How many times have we heard/read recently, in relation to Terri Schiavo, that a Living Will is the answer to all our "end-of-life" problems? This is not a "right to die" case, and neither was Terri Schiavo's. It is a FIGHT TO LIVE case... 81-year-old Mae v. Incompetent Judge, Greedy-Lying Granddaughter, and Hospice LaGrange which jumped at the chance to assist in killing a temporarily disabled woman.
It makes you wonder what the heck is going on in this country. We have an activist judiciary that has completely lost sight of its primary function: to protect the rights of those who can't defend themselves.
