Here's what I have in my personal files:
In her living will, Mae Magouirk stated that fluids and nourishment were to be withheld only if she were either comatose or "vegetative," and she is neither. Nor is she terminally ill, which is generally a requirement for admission to a hospice.

In a situation recalling the recent death of Terri Schiavo in Florida, an 81-year-old widow, denied nourishment and fluids for nearly two weeks, is clinging to life in a hospice in LaGrange, Ga., while her immediate family fights desperately to save her life before she dies of starvation and dehydration.
Mae Magouirk was not terminally ill, comatose nor in a "vegetative state," when Hospice-LaGrange accepted her as a patient about two weeks ago upon the request of her granddaughter, Beth Gaddy, 36, an elementary school teacher.

Thankfully, other members of Grandma Mae's family spared her from a very bad death.
Thank you. I had the pleasure of meeting Sarah Foster in California. She wrote excellent reports about Terri that cut through a lot of Death Cult disinformation.
What an awful case! Imagine the granddaughter just saying, in effect, "Snuff time, Grandma. I've ordered your death."
Good post!
