Mae Magouirk

For the complete news story please go here.

Mae Magouirk is an 81 year-old widow being starved to death in hospice DESPITE HER INSTRUCTIONS to the contrary, thanks to the decision made by her granddaughter which was completely the opposite of what was stated in Magouirk’s living will.
Magouirk's living will carefully provided that a feeding tube and fluids should only be discontinued if she was comatose or in a "vegetative state" – and she was neither.

What is this world coming to? I think that Terri Schiavo's story was bad, and this is just as bad, in my book.
A lot of people have been hearing about Terri's story. It has helped many make the decision to get living wills.
A question -- what good does a living will do if it is blatently disregarded??

I pray that someone would help this women. Soon. That people would be respectful of her wishes. As, in this case, there is definitive proof that she would not want this death.
