#1 This is a g--d----d disgrace. I am sickened and disgusted by this.

"She has glaucoma and now this heart problem, and who would want to live with disabilities like these?"
Why don't we give Mae nourishment, cut out the morphine, and ask her?

#2 As I blogged separately: no one is safe anymore. It is best not to become "inconvenient."

Is there any regulation over hospices whatsoever?

#4 Won't really comment...I would get madder than .com in his best rants. I dunno, there seems to be a lot of people that have a Soul Deficiency Syndrome with Empathorectomy.

#8 Looks like another Judge who is determine to kill by fiat!

If she does then the Judge and granddaughter should be held for premeditated murder. I think a jury would convict.

#9 I'm with CF -- in a just world, Gaddy would be facing perjury, fraud, and attempted murder charges. Murder one, at that -- her misrepresentation of her power of attorney is clear premeditation.
