At this point, I'm afraid it doesn't matter if you've put it in writing or not. Mae DID have a living will that clearly stated her wishes. Her wishes are NOT being followed. Her granddaughter has obtained permission from a probate judge to kill her anyway.
Unfortunately, it looks like the only way to avoid being euthanized is to do the same thing the people in the Netherlands do: Avoid being hospitalized like your life depends on it.
Because, in our Brave New America your life may depend on doing just that.
Hmmm. Brave New America. . or could the plan be even bigger . . as in Brave New World With All Sorts of Tentacles . .
Hospitals. . Hmmm. Say you go to a hospital with pneumonia. They put you in the ER and hook you up to stuff. They label you as "elderly and undesirable" in this particular Brave New World Hospital. You have a rough spot and have to be put on a feeding tube, you go into a coma. Your spouse has to go home for a few hours to get more clothes and take care of business. For some odd reason, when she returns to the hospital, the Director of Patient Services has inexplicably sent you (on doctor's orders) to a hospice, where papers have been signed indicating that you are "terminal". A new "guardian" has been appointed by the New World Tribunal Court. Your spouse objects, but the judge has already ruled. There is a court fight, but your guardian (a greedy relative, next in line to inherit after your spouse). In the interim you have regained consciousness. The new "guardian" orders that you are to remain attached to the feeding tube and that absolutely no therapy or swallowing exercises be done. Now he is petitioning to have the feeding tube removed. The spouse is still ignored and the judge rules the tube is to be removed. After all, you are 68 and wouldn't want to live like that as the relative has sworn in a deposition. So, tube removed, you expire. A month later, your spouse mysteriously disappears, "depressed and suicidal" the guardian relative muses. Spouse is found in a couple of weeks, obviously having committed suicide . . . (ha), then voila the greedy relative inherits your sizable fortune and property. All parties involved get new cars, boats and wardrobes for their mistresses. Getting rid of the old and undesirable one at a time and "freeing up" their wasted assets for the common good of the capable, strong, able and powerful. Motto of the Brave New World.
