Same as the last time with Terri. This is just plain more evil. I heard the nephew on Beck, and he is intelligent and correct and honest with his words. It's just another little clique of people in a small town getting together to "off" a woman before her time! This is really sick.
Admin - Why is this not considered Breaking News??? Many people (like me) are becoming aware of the story today due to Glenn Beck.
There's not enough media visibility on this story. We don't need FR burying this as well.
If there's a poll about Terri on the front page, certainly this is still topical.
How many of these threads on Magouirk should be in breaking news?
Is this based on Mullinax's statements, or from some independent source? Do you have any other knowledge not contained in the WND article or from Glen Beck? What exactly would you do now?
At a follow-up hearing Monday, the parties reached a settlement that awarded guardianship to Gaddy provided three cardiologists – James Brennan and Thomas Gore, both of LaGrange, and Raed Aquel of Birmingham – evaluate the patient, who would receive whatever treatment two of the three recommended. A final decision had not yet been reached.
“They were all hugging necks when they left court,” said Probate Judge Donald Boyd. “I don’t know what happened.”
Boyd said Gaddy testified at the hearing that she feeds her grandmother Jello, chips of ice and “anything else she’d be willing to eat.”
“I think all of Mrs. Magouirk’s family has her genuine best interests at heart, but unfortunately they disagree on what they believe would be best for her,” said Jack Kirby of LaGrange, attorney for the patient’s brother and sister.
But I'm sure it's all BS, that only WND has the real story....
Elected to violate or elected to fulfill?
This, from the LaGrange News, in part:
At a follow-up hearing Monday, the parties reached a settlement that awarded guardianship to Gaddy provided three cardiologists – James Brennan and Thomas Gore, both of LaGrange, and Raed Aquel of Birmingham – evaluate the patient, who would receive whatever treatment two of the three recommended. A final decision had not yet been reached. “They were all hugging necks when they left court,” said Probate Judge Donald Boyd. “I don’t know what happened.”
Boyd said Gaddy testified at the hearing that she feeds her grandmother Jello, chips of ice and “anything else she’d be willing to eat.”
“I think all of Mrs. Magouirk’s family has her genuine best interests at heart, but unfortunately they disagree on what they believe would be best for her,” said Jack Kirby of LaGrange, attorney for the patient’s brother and sister.
It would appear that there may actually be truth outside of WND...
No, it is perfectly consistent with the precedent now set.
Wonder why the WND and Glen Beck failed to note this, from the LaGrange News:

These are the things that prompt us "pro-death" as you say folks to want to hear both sides before running off like liberals to a pro-abortion rally
What is the source for this?
I am not being sarcastic- you said it was local news and I have just been doing a search and not finding anything.
The LaGrange News, "Woman, 81, at center of feeding tube feud", by Joel Martin
Thank you, I have seen it, and if true, then the truth is substantially different from what has been posted here and written by WND.
Any particular reason you left this out?
“The doctors can make her very comfortable again and give her a normal life,” Mullinax said. “That’s all we want for Aunt Mae ... My aunt can’t live much longer without substantial fluids or nourishment.
“I want the world to know that at Hospice LaGrange you have people who are not terminal being denied nourishment as a matter of course. This national debate has reared its head in Troup County, Georgia. It’s the damndest thing I’ve ever seen.”
He said he will “pursue every available avenue” to get treatment for his aunt."
Or the fact that this woman has a freaking living will that is not being adhered to?
Forgive my ignorance, I read that previous post and it seems the lady does NOT and never had a feeding tube?
Did I interpret that correctly? If that's true, and the granddaughter is feeding her, then the nephew is just going off the deep end.
Your disingenousness is impressive.
I'll ask directly.
Do you think it was wrong to kill Terri Shiavo? Yes/No?
I think this deserves a kidnapping charge....
It appeared covered in what I posted if you can believe the attorney. And I was offering some pieces that didn't seem to fit the murder scheme many here have painted.
Or the fact that this woman has a freaking living will that is not being adhered to?
Wonder if that came up at the two hearings? Perhaps you could shed light on the judges statements concerning it?
It seems to be information that WND and a lot of Freepers didn't care about hearing. But that is my reading of it too.
