Gary Harvey - Isolation is a Form of Torture

Gary Harvey is the brain injured man from New York, who seems to have his own private “death panel” determined to kill him off and to make his and his wife’s life as miserable as possible, until the sentence is carried out. One might think it could get no worse than it has been. One should never think such thoughts, lest one(or more) be shown that — for however bad — things can actually get worse!

Though it wasn’t Sara sitting on the so-called ethics committee that determined Gary should be starved and dehydrated to death — the Guardian and County (who actually were involved in the attempted death of an innocent person) — have suggested she is a danger to her husband.

Huh? Did I miss something there?

Hasn’t a DNR been placed on Gary? If something does go wrong — that’s it, isn’t it? Those in charge have made it clear they have no intention of lifting a finger to save his life, but yet, it is Gary’s wife, Sara, that is considered the danger to him?

The Twilight Zone has competition!

Isolation is a form of torture. It causes failure to thrive. So now, when those in control of Gary didn’t get him starved and dehydrated to death, and have not been able to implement the DNR — they are going to deny him his wife’s visits? Who are they trying to punish? Gary for being disabled or Sara for fighting to bring her husband home?

Very well said. Isolation is torture.

ANY guardian who isolates his/her ward should immediately be removed.

Shame on you, Chemung County.

Now that their efforts to extinguish Mr. Harvey haven't been successful, they're going to kill of what's left of his spirit?

WHERE ARE THOSE AGENCIES WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE?

The County had no right to place a DNR on Gary Harvey. That should be his wife's decision.

I can't believe this? Are we living in a third dimension or something where we can only watch injustice like this and not be able to stop it?

If Gary Harvey could talk, think he'd say he wanted to live out his life in a hospital or nursing facility, judge? Would you?

What's happened to common sense?

Thank you for telling it like it is once again, Dakota Voice.

It's articles like those you write who will bring Gary Harvey home.

Boy, isn't this the truth? The guardian is bound determined to make everybody miserable.

Do these people have a soul?

I feel so bad for Gary Harvey. He must lay there every day and wish he were home with his wife.

How dare a stranger keep them apart!

Sara Harvey continues to gain more and more media attention.

I have no doubt we'll see her eventually on Oprah and when that happens, Chemung County will wish to heck they'd just let Gary Harvey go.

Isolation is what they do to prisoners...people who have committed a crime.

What crime has Gary Harvey committed, Chemung County? What crime.

How dare you do this to an innocent and helpless man.

HEY, NOT LETTING GARY HARVEY'S WIFE VISIT HIM IS A SURE FIRED WAY TO KILL HIM, CHEMUNG COUNTY, NY.

YOU JUST KEEP COMING, DON'T YOU?

Pick on somebody who can speak up and answer you, Chemung County.

You're treating Gary Harvey like he was a dog, keeping him confined in a pen.

Would you want to be treated that way? Or your Mother or Father?

How clearly we can see, this is not about what is best for Gary or Sara's rights as his wife, it is about Chemung County's
addiciton to power and control.

They are on the wrong road for years, but they continue full speed ahead running down all in their path.

I, personally, hope there is a special place in HELL for those who take pleasure in harming and causing pain to others.

These people opposing Sara are intentionally harming Gary in many ways and I feel they are taking great pleasure isolating Gary from his loving wife, causing Sara much pain.

One word that immeditely comes to my mind to describe the county, guardian vultures: SADISTS
