“Marjorie Nighbert, a 76-year-old Florida woman, was hospitalized in 1996 after a stroke. Before her hospital admission, she signed an advance directive that no 'heroic measures' should be employed to save her life. On the basis of that directive and at the request of her family, the hospital denied her requests for food and water … Until her death more than 10 days later, Nighbert was restrained in her bed to prevent her raiding other patients’ food trays.”
The Washington Post National Weekly Edition, January 13, 1997, page 23.
Nighbert died while an appeal in her case was pending.
Very good Phil!
e-mailed Dr. Dobson this morning; thanks.
I have Freep mailed you everything you have asked for, hopefully. I don't have anything else to send. Gods Speed in contacting Zell Miller.
Prayer Warriors lift up your prayers that Zell Millers heart will be opened to grandma Mae and that he is moved to fight in earnest for her living will to be implemented as she has directed.

Arthur,
MOST EXCELLENT Research Thread.
If we can keep the table talk and chatter off of that thread and keep it JUST FOR RESEARCH it will be invaulable.
Many thanks for starting this.
Everyone, when you have contact information to share please make a very brief post on the research thread. Just the bare facts.

As well as posting your info over here on the Action Thread.
Yeah Floriduh again...
Can you imagine, she is physically out scavaging for food and they kill her. Wasn't that long ago either, 1997, those appeals court judges are probably some of the same ones the Schindlers had to deal with.
Re-focusing back on Mae Magouirk of LaGrange Georgia, who have you contacted so far? i don't know you very well so I thought I would ask.
Read posts 31 and 130, and put 2 and 2 together.
Ping if you haven't seen this thread.
Wonderful observation! I would propose then if you are ameanable that you help out Arthur Wildfire !March see his post #751
He has started a very valuable research thread, where there is no discussion jsut a compilation fo the facts.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1379722/posts
If you could look over what he ahs posted then scroll through this thread and add "just the facts Mame" onto the research thread I think that would be a huge help.
Thank all of you who are actively following this story and your efforts. Sometimes I think, when I am facing this issue, I will want to just walk off in the woods and be allowed to die on my own terms, like the Indians.
Well I might be getting a bit over the top here but heck, I'll ask you.
If you could somehow get copies of the court documents, perhaps work through eeevil conservative, as she is in direct contact with Kenneth the nephew, and post them on this thread as well as the research thread that would be extreemly helpful.
Time has gone by and we are a bit more organized then the last time we were writing back and forth.
If you have been following the thread please, what have we not covered yet?
Are you writing, faxing or calling to the many sources we are posting on the thread?
A lie? Criminally accountable? What are you talking about?
In February, 2000, Judge Greer signed a court order to remove the feeding tube. Since she was only expected to live for two weeks, she was admitted to a hospice in early March.
Now, what's your problem?
