This woman needs to be forcibly put in a hospital and her weight reduced.

[mansion]

I don't know how that would square with the principles of freedom and self-determination - that is, she can get grotesquely obese if she wants to...

But it certainly seems like the humane and cost-effective thing to do! Can you imagine if she lives another 10-15 years?

Forget about her bi-annual dental visits each requiring a team of firemen and EMTs (who instead of saving lives are ferrying some fat woman to and fro) - what if she decides to sue the housing department? She'll probably win a multimillion dollar settlement, and they'll pass a new law requiring the doors on all public housing to be 4 feet wide...

[I still care]

She can't be feeding herself. She can't move from her bed. It's her son and caregiver who are feeding her. Replace the caregiver with another one, who understands about diet, and I bet the weight drops off her.
