I saw this at another blog (thank you, www.worldmagblog.com) and thought it was very much worth posting. Since Terri Schiavo was starved, the next step has already come.
"An 81-year-old Georgia grandmother is clinging to life almost two weeks after her 36-year-old granddaughter, Beth Gaddy, disconnected her feeding tube. Mae Magouirk was not terminally ill, comatose or in a "vegetative state" when her granddaughter placed her in a hospice facility; she had only been hospitalized two weeks ago for non-life threatening aortic problems. "Grandmama is old and I think it is time she went home to Jesus," Gaddy told extended family members. "She has glaucoma and now this heart problem, and who would want to live with disabilities like these?" The removal of the feeding tube is in defiance of Magouirk's wishes, outlined in a living will, which stated that fluids and nourishment were to be withheld only if she were either comatose or "vegetative." She is neither, although heavily sedated with morphine and a tranquilizer."
Will murder become common place?

"The dehydration is being done in defiance of Magouirk's specific wishes, which she set down in a "living will," and without agreement of her closest living next-of-kin, two siblings and a nephew: A. Byron McLeod, 64, of Anniston, Ga.; Ruth Mullinax, 74, of Birmingham, Ala.; and Ruth Mullinax's son, Ken Mullinax."
Wow. Blatent breaking of the law...
"Grandmama is old and I think it is time she went home to Jesus," Gaddy told extended family members. "She has glaucoma and now this heart problem, and who would want to live with disabilities like these?"

"Oh, and Grandmama is leaving me some money in the Will."
Thats good...
Grandma left money in the will.

I think that the *grand daughter* could have come up with a better excuse to get her greedy hands on the money. I also think the grand daughter should be brought up with criminal charges.
"Will murder become common place?"
sadly yes it will be. Of course it will be politacally glossed over with a "different" word but it will be the same.
