Sara says she was able to get the decision overturned but fears that it may happen again. She wants to care for Gary herself at their home and she has everything he needs to do so.

They are trying to appoint a death panel.

It looks like New York is already starting to attempt death panels.

The heading “Horsehead woman” made me think the article was about that woman from “Sex and the City”

This one is “Horsehead” not “horse face.”

A few hours later, the tube was replaced. But Chemung County Attorney Bryan Maggs says there were other incidents as well, such as wheeling him outside and placing flavors in his mouth.

What does the print in bold mean?

Correction/clarification: They already have appointed a death panel. Activist judges will probably give the death panel the power to carry out their plot.

My impression was that it was those citrus flavored swabs that they have in hospitals to aid with dry mouth when fluids can’t be taken orally.

Since “Terri Schiavo,” the Government’s roll and policy is to exterminate those that are a drain upon the treasury, while protecting America’s enemies foreign and domestic in the destruction of the Constitution.

I wonder if the “let the spouse decide” crowd will weigh in.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

Let’s get this straight: The county wants to starve and dehydrate him to death but thinks SHE would be a bad guardian because... well because of ANYTHING?!!!

[BykrBayb]

If they do, it will be to tell us that in this case, the spouse should have no say, because she endangered her husband by preventing his murder.

[abigailsmybaby]

It’s an odd statement. I wondered if she was giving him something like Life Savers.

Get it right people, Horseheads, not Horsehead, on the right side of the tracks from Elmira. My hometown. Can’t say I know this couple though. Freegards,

[BykrBayb]

And what’s on the wrong side? Or should I not ask?

I wonder if the “let the spouse decide” crowd will weigh in.

Not sure what you are talking about here..

My husband was sick for seven years, I had power of attorney along with a daughter. I cared for my hubby until his death in 2006.

At one point we would have lost control over his care had we not had POA.

Wonder why this woman did not have that?

[BARLF]

My daughter ,SIL and Grandson lived there for about nine years. Visited there many times.

Not sure what you are talking about here..

We aren't talking about a POA, we are talking about basic guardianship which the courts have taken away.

A lot of people supported Terri Schiavo's murder because her estranged and adulterous husband wanted to kill her.
