I'm not sure how authentic this is, but it sounds legit, so I'm posting it here.
P.S. I did delete some phone numbers, (e.g. Beth Gaddy's home number was listed) because I was worried it might get FR into trouble if I posted them.
Thank you for the heads up.
Get ready for the influx of Freepers telling us:
A) this story is a hoax
B) It's ok because it's legal because a judge says so
C) the old woman doesn't need to live because she's old, in poor health and SOMEBODY's gotta pay for it.
I guarantee at least 1 of those answers will pop up here by the "death Freeper crowd"
PING!!!
I already tried to call the hospice, but they don't open until 8:00 am. I'll be calling them back in a few hours.
I really hope FReepers aren't so thrashed from the Schiavo fight, that we stop duking it out with the pro-deathers as we hear about this sort of thing happening more and more.
According to the press release this woman is being starved against her wishes (that were explicitly stated in her living will) by her granddaughter (who was not even named in her living will as power-of-attorney) because:
“Grandmamma is old and I think it is time she went home to Jesus. She has glaucoma, and now this heart problem and who would want to live with disabilities like these?”
I intend to check into this and find out what's going on at that hospice.
OH my...
thrashed but getting my 2nd wind by the grace of God.

It's starting to look like it's not a hoax.
I did a google and found the lawyer listed in an online directory:

It's still too early for me to get anyone on the phone yet, though. I'll let you all know when I'm able to find out more.
reference bump
Wow. Could this another travesty? Waiting to hear more.
I think you did right by deleting the phone #, this info re Mae is on Blogs for Terri and reportedly verified by the author. I received it via email this a.m.
I wonder who the Jim King of Georgia is!
Frankly, my first impulse was to support the fight, but you're right that I should be cautious. After all the lies told about Mrs. Schiavo, this could very well be a hoax. Unfortunately, the FR truth bar dropped a lot over the case from Florida. :-( :-(

No, it's begun a long time ago. But the press, and others, wouldn't tell you about it. You can education yourself on this thread as to the AGENDA that has been set, and other court cases in which these types of withholding nourishment has occurred, nationwide.

Gondring, you would find a way to say 2 + 2 = 3 is not a lie.
Sorry, reformatting my link:
