This story doesn't make much sense. First, why can't the aunt/grandmother speak for herself? And second--assuming that the woman is unconscious or otherwise too mentally challenged to speak--why on earth is the granddaughter in charge? If these are actually the granddaughter's words:

I’ve been praying about this and, and I’ve been praying to Jesus. Jesus has told me it’s time that grandmother went home to Jesus

then it's rather obvious that she's quite delusional if not completely insane. The other family members need to get to a judge and let it be known that this woman is making medical decisions based on nothing more than an imaginary discussion with Jesus. This is nuts, and I suspect a judge might see it as such too. God's words or orders or revelations don't trump binding legal documents, at least not in America.

A Judge did one heck of a lot for Terri.

I had heard that they were keeping Mae sedated and that she was lucid and able to speak for herself before this whole ordeal, IIRC.

eeevil conservative is the one who knows the most about this. She talked to the judge and the family face-to-face, and she spoke to people at the hospice.
