It was "disinformed" consent, engineered by baby killers (!) in the ranks of medical professionals. That's something to keep in mind if you think your "living will" will protect you from medical neglect or mistreatment. Your only protection is in the hands of honest, moral caregivers who can be counted on to do the right thing. These assuredly do not include baby killers or euthanasia advocates, or anyone in medicine who TOLERATES the killers.
Girl once on life support can write, eat, kin saysThe grandmother of Haleigh Poutre testified yesterday in the State House that the 12-year-old girl, who had once been on life support, can write part of her name, eat scrambled eggs, and flex a muscle when told she is strong.

I wonder if Haleigh has had one or more visits from her family, or if someone at the hospital told them about her progress. Or maybe she had made this much progress before DSS deprived her of contact with her family. In any event, it's good that her grandmother put this information out to the public. It makes it harder for DSS to carry out the plan they announced in January of 2006. Some of you may recall that they announced a plan to wait a year before trying again to starve and dehydrate her to death. The one year deadline was up in January of this year, but with Haleigh still in the spotlight, and news of her progress being public, they haven't had an opportunity to follow through. I continue to pray that they never succeed, and that Haleigh is returned to her loving family soon.
