Just noticed this:
anyway, 18 days may be pretty quick to pull the feeding tube but it really depends on how long he was without oxygen and his condition...
First of all, it didn’t sound as though he was not breathing for very long. Second, there is no justification whatsoever for pulling a feeding tube on any living human being, any more than it is justified to stop bringing human beings plates of food.
Thank you for posting this.
Good news update. Terry Mace Sr. was granted temporary guardianship, effective for 60 days. His lawyer plans to file for permanent guardianship, if necessary.
It’s a relief to see a judge who upholds justice. There is never a time when it is acceptable for a court to order the medical community to starve and dehydrate a patient to death. And I’m really sick of hearing the excuse that the patient’s brain injury justifies murder. Caring for a brain injured loved one is difficult enough without having to defend them against those who would torture them to death “for their own good.”
Exactly, because any living human-even someone in perfect health- WILL DIE without water (in about 3 days), and food.
Wonder what these people would say if a dog was locked up in a cage and dehydrated and starved to death? Yet they advocate for this being done to humans who are already suffering and in poor health. Sick.
