"I, on the other hand, want everyone killed." Ever hear people say "she's not dying"? I thought everyone was dying...just at different rates? :-)

I also got a response from last night's e-mail to Gary Bauer, from American Values, saying "this is outrageous."

[TigersEye]

Apparently Greer can decide against the guardian if there is a legal document
giving the guardian full authority for medical decisions.

I sent an email on it to Bruce Jacobs at KFYI. Don'tknow if he mentioned it.

Ativan is a psych drug, usually not given by hospice unless there are extenuating circumstances.

MATTERS OF LIFE AND DEATH
Granddaughter yanks grandma's feeding tube
81-year-old neither terminally ill, comatose, nor in vegetative state

In a situation recalling the recent death of Terri Schiavo in Florida, an 81-year-old widow, denied nourishment and fluids for nearly two weeks, is clinging to life in a hospice in LaGrange, Ga., while her immediate family fights desperately to save her life before she dies of starvation and dehydration.

Mae Magouirk was neither terminally ill, comatose nor in a "vegetative state," when Hospice-LaGrange accepted her as a patient about two weeks ago upon the request of her granddaughter, Beth Gaddy, 36, an elementary school teacher.

Also upon Gaddy's request and without prior legal authority, since March 28 Hospice-LaGrange has denied Magouirk normal nourishment or fluids via a feeding tube through her nose or fluids via an IV. She has been kept sedated with morphine and ativan, a powerful tranquillizer.

Her nephew, Ken Mullinax, told WorldNetDaily that although Magouirk is given morphine and ativan, she has not received any medication to keep her eyes lubricated during her forced dehydration.

"They haven't given her anything like that for two weeks," said Mullinax. "She can't produce tears."

The dehydration is being done in defiance of Magouirk's specific wishes, which she set down in a "living will," and without agreement of her closest living next-of-kin, two siblings and a nephew: A. Byron McLeod, 64, of Anniston, Ga.; Ruth Mullinax, 74, of Birmingham, Ala.; and Ruth Mullinax's son, Ken Mullinax.

Magouirk's husband and only child, a son, are both deceased.

In her living will, Magouirk stated that fluids and nourishment were to be withheld only if she were either comatose or "vegetative," and she is neither. Nor is she terminally ill, which is generally a requirement for admission to a hospice.

Magouirk lives alone in LaGrange, though because of glaucoma she relied on her granddaughter, Beth Gaddy, to bring her food and do errands.

[Smartaleck]

"have you followed the documentation showing that the "laws" were slipped in under the influence of the Greer-Felos cohorts in order to allow them to have the appearance of "legality" in doing what they did to Terri -"

I've seen that speculation. Yes.

In the current instance, anyone know what the GA law is regarding the definition of next of kin?
"against the wishes of Mae Magouirk’s closest living next of kin."
In some states it is provided that the child is the next of kin if there is no spouse and if the child predeceases the person in question, then the child's child, the grandchild, stands next in the succession of next of kin?

My reposting re the smartaleck disruptor:

Your cumulative posts tell me what to think about your position, regardless of how you try to spin it otherwise....it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how little value you place on human life; how you taunt and mock those who don't hold your position; and your purpose on this thread is nothing more than to be disruptive.

Let's ignore the troll.

[maine-iac7]

and apparantly he knows no other way to reach her,,/ I wonder what school she works for,

Beth Gaddy, a school teacher at LaGrange’s Calloway Middle School and granddaughter

Where is AARP????

I'm afraid that AARP is not likely to want to get involved. They are an arm of an insurance company, and sad to say keeping old folks alive with expensive therapies is not in their best financial interest.

If you look at the stands they take on issues, they are not the friends of the seasoned citizens that they make themselves out to be.

[sageb1]

My boyfriend died on January 3, 2004 at home with me under care of a Georgia hospice. He had a living will with me named and also a health care POA for me. I was able to make all decisions EXCEPT for one. He wanted to be cremated. The Georgia funeral home said they "could" take his brother's signature for approval of cremation, but that they really wanted his son's. (they were estranged). The funeral director had to call the son in California and they faxed back and forth with the son giving his permission for cremation.

[Smartaleck]

Can't imagine what it was like with children pitted against their their mother!

[turnrightnow]

AARP is just another arm of the Democrat party. They will be of no help.

[maine-iac7]

a special prosecutor is in order. This is a cancer spreading from Florida to Georgia.

CORRECTION: across the United States - and has been digging in it's heels for years. How many remember the famous Wendland case in Calif in 1997. It received nation-wide coverage - and his case was a mirror image of Terri's.

We need to be educated on ALL these cases, to show the pattern and that Terri and Mae's plights are not an aberation but now the norm.

Below, an account of the Wendland case - the judge in this case, ruled FOR LIFE. (I have know this judge for 35 years, long before he went into law. A more intelligent, kind, fair person, I have never known. He is now Presiding Judge of the San Joaquin Superior Court - we need judges like this on the SCOTUS.:)

[pollywog]

Thanks. I checked the website. It appears that it is a " Pay" to listen audio, but I will read the updates there.

[uvular]

Has anyone contacted Mark Levin's show?

[maine-iac7]

Update on Ga. Dept of Human Services I called and was directed straight to a mail box of Gladys Wilson, left a message. Their fax will not take my fax to them. There is no "real person" available to talk to and no options to speak directly to anyone

This is another problem that has become systemic. No one in authority can be reached on just about every issue. They get to hide behind 'voice mail" etc., and then screen and answer only whom they want.

Total unaccountability

[sinkspur]

I heard the guy on Glenn Beck. Sounds as if the judge didn't have all the information.

However, I was discouraged to hear that they're going to use David Gibbs, the lawyer who botched the Schiavo case.

Somebody get David Boies down there. He's a much better litigator.

[Wneighbor]

I just contacted WBAP in Dallas/Ft Worth. This is my *only* morning when I have to be at work and can't listen to WBAP but hopefully they'll get it on the morning show.
