The Floodgates of Legalized Death are Opened

If this story is true (it has yet to be verified) it helps send us further down the Slippery Slope:

First came the legalized judicial homicide of Terri Schindler Schiavo, now comes the case of Mae Magouirk in Georgia. Here's the url to the story:

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 neither 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.

As it turns out, Beth Gaddy has actually stated her reason for trying to starve her grandmother:

"Grandmama is old and I think it is time she went home to Jesus," Gaddy told Magouirk's brother and nephew, McLeod and Ken Mullinax. "She has glaucoma and now this heart problem, and who would want to live with disabilities like these?"

The dehydration is being done in defiance of Magouirk's specific wishes, which she set down in a "living will." In her living will, 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.

I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE DEMOCRATE OR REPUBLICAN...DO SOMETHING TO STOP THIS MADNESS!
