According to a WorldNetDaily story, Beth Gaddy ordered Mae Magouirk’s feeding tube withdrawn March 28th despite clear directives in her grandma’s Living Will. Mae Magouirk lies in Hospice-LaGrange in LaGrange, Ga., dying of thirst and starvation:

WorldNetDaily—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 …

Also upon Gaddy’s request and without prior legal authority, since March 28 Hospice-LaGrange has denied Magouirk normal nourishment or fluids via a feeding tube through her nose or fluids via an IV. She has been kept sedated with morphine and ativan, a powerful tranquillizer. …

Terri Schiavo was only the tip of the iceberg wasn’t she?
