I doubt all the hyperbole made any difference, this was probably in the works all week and Mullinax knew it. Ken Mullinax got his 15 minutes, now he better learn to change a bedpan.
Looks like the court order was adhered to and the granddaughter said "fine if you want to take care of her go for it". Who would blame her after watching the Schiavo debacle. Off to Alabama Grandma goes, everybody is happy except for Grandma, she probably wanted to die.
LOL!
I thounght she had a living will. What makes you think she wanted to die?
Yo, homey, she had a living will that said otherwise. What would you say if you had a gun legally, it was then taken away with the comment, "You would have wanted it taken away anyways."? In this case you had a constitutional right acting as a living will/POA.
If I may I'll jump to my safer, life-affirming conclusion: the granddaughter got sick of the old lady and needed more time to herself. And who knows what kinda monetary flow is hanging in the balance. I don't know but heck I'll jump to conclusions that have some common sense angles vs. a hospice director saying she was getting great care when she was being starved from the get go.
Greetings all. I wasn't going to respond to this thread as it is difficult for me to be civil while commenting on this topic as I learned in the Terri case.
judgemc, surely you can see that this type of action leads to the rebirth of eugenics? If someone wants to be killed in certain circumstances, then they should have to be the parties that provide abundant proof that thier wish was death.
If the people who are in such a state have such ambiguous wishes, they should be left to live.
I hate to bring this up but my Grandmother has Senile Dementia and my step-mother has a rare disease that is like Parkinsons disease. Some of the people on the "death" side might have good intentions but the intellectual leaders of these folks do not. Altzheimers folks should die acoording to George Soros and his ilk.
I know what the wishes of all of my family members are and I will carry them out faithfully even if I don't agree with them.
I have to break with the eugenics crowd though regarding the rule of law.
I respect the law but if some judge says my grand mom or my step-mom is going to be put to death then they will have to kill me too.
This is a non negotiable point with me. My family controls it's own affairs, not some stinking judge. No offense to them but the constitution does say Right to LIFE. So, if it is an amibiguous situation, the right to life is implied by our Constitution. I follow the Constitution, not some tinpot dictator that doesn't know his own job.
So sorry, I can not support these new developments in Eugenics. It's barbaric. Gee, I can't wait until I become an elderly gent so some Judge can kill me because I am a waste of time and cause hardship to my living children. I thought we used to respect our elders?
So I will try to hold the line until some court appointed authority comes up to check my grandmas mental health and deems her unfit to live. Oh, and you can be sure I'll cooperate, LOL!!!
Arioch7 out!
