I wasn't sure how to post this...I found it while cruising my favorite blogs.
I don't know if the news/media will even touch it with a ten foot pole.
And honestly, it looks like another case where the judge has already decided to 'let her die' regardless of the facts...
so I doubt they'll be able to help this poor elderly lady.

I find it is more appropriate to see it as a sad epilogue to Terri Schiavo's tragedy and regarding the many warnings people have been making that her case would open the floodgates of euthanasia in our country.
So it begins.

You did just fine.

It is clear that our laws need to be reviewed and revised.

As GWB said, the default choice needs to be life. I also think the decision about who gets to be the guardian needs to be looked at.

I think these things have been happening for a long time. The Schiavo case just brought it into public view. Maybe now there will be more public outcry in favor of other people in the same predicament.

Thanks so much for posting this, it is a better update than what I have previously seen.

Topher, I know Fr. Pavone is extremely busy, but do you think you could pass word of this on to him? We must gain the attention of the world that this is an ongoing travesty of justice, this culture of death. Thank you. I know you will try.

Mae Magouirk is being withheld nourishment and fluids and the provisions of her Living Will are not being honored

What! I thought the Living Will meant they had to honor your wishes. sarcasm
