Another thing...HTH does one get to be a probate judge without even having a law degree?
I'm afraid little Beth will wonder what happened when she gets to be a few years older, and someone has decided to off her against her will.
Ping!
My dearest friend just went through this with a parent. While her parent had signed a living will, it had been done a decade ago and the technology options on it were less specific than medical options available today. Consequently, it was with consideration consultation after many updated tests were run (unlike Terri Schiavo's case where a PET scan was never done and who can even guess the date of her last EEG?), they decided against continued nourishment. Feeding tubes were not the issue, just not offering food anymore which wouldn't be eaten anyway. Thankfully, this appeared in alignment with the living will's intentions, though not specifically designated by the terms of that document.
I would like to take time to thank you for taking all the flack that you have from the pro euthanasia (most of whom will deny it) posters on these threads. I saw how you tried to start a discourse on that WPPFF...or whatever...thread and not one of those supposedly learned, "tenured" and highly esteemed posters would debate you.
Thanks again from a retired RN who can read the tea leaves.
The plural is important here. Perhaps more than one "finder of fact" would cut down on errors.
What the heck is she doing in a Hospice if she is not terminal? Hospice is for terminally ill patients only.
I know, I know, Terri Schiavo was not terminally ill in the real sense, BUT THE COURTS MADE HER TERMINAL.
Can anyone tell me why Mae Magouirk is in the hospice? Regardless withholding nourishment from anyone who has not asked for it is murder.
It is good to know these efforts are not in vain. Thank you.
I received this email today. I don't know what to make of it but it really scares me that they would even consider killing this little baby:
From: "Leslie Tignor" Date: April 4, 2005 1:04:55 PM PDT To: "Leslie Tignor" Subject: Urgent need for potential adoptive family
Nick Silverio of Safe Haven for Newborns in Florida has asked that we spread the word of a disabled newborn in need of adoption.
The child, born today, has no arms, only one leg, and is missing a good portion of his jaw - but his prognosis is good. The baby was abandoned by his mother under the Florida Safe Haven law and, unless potential adoptive parents can be found, quickly, the child will become a ward of the state (and, it is feared, the target of euthanasia). The Florida Department of Children and Families will not become involved unless information is obtained that may suggest some type of abuse or neglect (which is not evident at this time). Catholic Charities in Florida is not currently able to assist with adoption services.
Please forward this information on to any agency, organization or individual that may be able to assist in locating interested potential adoptive parents.
Nick's cell phone number is 786-246-1304 and the his web site is www.asafehavenfornewborns.com
It has been my experience in the very recent past that adoptive parents for disabled infants have been found through the efforts of pro-life people who simply made the need known via e-mail.
Please pray for this baby and his biological mother as well.
Thanks!

Like the tagline. Why don't you have on there the numerous times John Galt called you (among many others, self included) "Sheep"?
How old is this lady? Why doesn't she tell them herself that she does not want to be killed? Why is the granddaughter able to speak for Grandma?
Lots of details left out. Amazing Grandma is alive. One usually does not live very long with this condition, unless they have surgery. A torn aorta will kill you in a matter of minutes. I don't understand what is going on.
What! I thought the Living Will meant they had to honor your wishes. sarcasm
Totally off topic here, are you a soccer fan?
They shouldn't be. It should include JUDGEMENT. Derived from the root "judge".
HEARsay came from *all* sides, but I'm guessing Greer merely followed the LETTER of the law by simply granting the "guardian's" wishes since the hearsay from 1 side didn't outweigh the other.
Time for some SPIRIT of the laws and using JUDGEMENT.
WHY? She doesn't even have legal power of attorney and fraudulently represented herself as such.
Probate Judge Donald W. Boyd (who DOES NOT hold a law degree)
WHAAT?? In GA you can be a probate judge without a law degree?
who granted Beth Gaddy emergency guardianship of Mae Magouirk, giving Beth Gaddy full and absolute authority.
This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
Soccer, College Football, Pro Football, Ice Hockey, among others, yes.
That is exactly what most conservatives have been beefing about for years. Activist judges who "judge" the law says something other than what it says.
You can also get on by donating large sums of money to the AmishDude Embezzlement Charity. "Embezzlement for a better tomorrow. AmishDude, overpaid CEO."
The only bad judgement I saw was that of making a political circus of a normal medical decision.
