Missouri woman found fused to recliner in home

this is so #$%$ sick and wrong!!!! who the hell does that this!!!

I wish I could unread this...

I wish the us people didnt belive in that kind of human being treatment!!! Lol!! You go ryan vangel!! Your such a special man i want 4ever!!

My grandmother died of cancer at home in accordance to her wishes. We brought hospice in to help change and bathe her, and she was surrounded 24/7 by loving family members committed to maintaining her dignity and comfort. This poor lady was left to suffer and rot in her own waste, eaten alive by maggots. I doubt very much that she WANTED to die like that. This case isn't about the right to die according to one's wishes. It's about elder abuse, pure and simple. I wouldn't allow a dog to die like that. The son was probably living off her money. I hope they throw the book at him.

Regardless of the fact the woman wished to die, you can honor her wishes and still let her have her dignity. How can you sit there and watch your own mother sit in her bodily fluids, feces, have open sores with maggots crawling in them? Your own mother? How absolutely horrible.

After reading this sick article and all of the rest of the sick news lately I think I am going to stop reading the news. This country has gone to he11

This is what his mother wanted? I would have found a quicker way to die than fusing to a chair and being eaten by maggots. Dr, Kavorkian was more humane.

EEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!!! Why didn't he call hospice in, she could have died comfortably at home per her wishes with good nursing and physical care, at NO cost to the family as medicare covers it 100%. People need to know about this program. "It"s the only way to go."

Let's see... skin fused to a recliner in five days? It would take a hell of alot longer than that. She was in that recliner for weeks if not months.

My mother was in a wheelchair for 16 years. My dad and I cared for her until the day she died. She never had bedsores or any afflictions while in our care, but a month before she died she stayed a week in the hospital and she came back home with bedsores. Hospitals and nursing homes will never care for people the way a family could. But most people are too lazy and selfish to care for others so it's the only option. This man should be sent to jail and charged with manslaughter. She may have already been dying, but treating her this way hurried the process along. My mom asked us to let her die as well. We did, but not by neglecting her and leaving her in her own mess, we made her eat and take her meds, but we didn't allow life support. She died a few weeks after making that request.

Honoring a parent's final wishes to die at home is commendable .... HOWEVER .... the son should have cared for her properly and not let her sit in a chair (in filth!) to rot. We brought our Mom home from the hospital to abide by her wishes of not wanting to die in a hospital, but we had nursing care and hospice and allowed her to die with dignity in a clean environment with loved ones around her.

I am the only caregiver for my mother who has ALZ. She is now bed ridden has not spoken for more than 5 years. I have to do everything for her and I do it without hesitation. She has a living will that she will not be given a feeding tube or put on life support. I know that if she could talk she would tell me she does not want to live like this but I care for her because that is the right thing to do. Leaving her to rot and then saying that it was her wish is #$%$

Were there no neighbors, family, friends, ANYONE that knew this lady? This is a story from the Dark Ages of ignorance, idiocy, and lunacy!

This dear woman gave him life, cared for him, and raised him No matter what her "wishes" were, this POS son of hers could have kept her clean, fed, and comfortable. If it was too much for him to handle then he should have gotten some real help. How horrible.

The decision-making surrounding the care of dying family member is incredibly complicated and heart-wrenching. However, I do believe that even if they want to profess a desire to die, it's still the responsibility of caregivers to insure they take their medicine, assist in cleaning their bodies, and change their bedsheets. It's just common, moral, and ethical sense.

One sorry excuse for a son. I treat my cat better.

The way american men treat their women!! At least i never was as lucky as some of my good friends!! Let me see --i just wasnt blessed with a better family!!! Other than my kids! No mom lets go ice skating!

We are currently providing care for my 88 yr old father who has Alzheimer's disease. It is very hard, but our circumstances allow us to provide family care rather than nursing home care. My daughter is a nurse in a nursing home and says we should do it as long as we can, but adds that most of her patients come from families who's circumstances simply cannot provide care...it has nothing to do with laziness. But the bottom line is this: Treat elders with dignity and respect because it is the right thing to do, and I know my father (because of all the great things he did for all of us and others) deserves it.

This is not honoring his mother ; for goodness sakes .

What a way to treat your mother. Horrible, disgusting.
