Oregon orders woman spoon-fed despite advance directive
ASHLAND
(AP)
— Oregon oficials are
requiring a nursing facility
to spoon-feed a woman
despite her making clear
that measures should not be
taken to prolong her life.
When former librarian
Nora Harris was diag-
nosed with early onset
Alzheimer’s disease in
2009, she and her husband
hired an attorney to create
an advance directive, a
legal document used to
guide medical care in case
someone becomes inca-
pacitated. Harris’ advance
directive
speciically
addressed “tube” or intra-
venous feeding.
She is now unable to
communicate, and a judge
says the facility must help
her eat.
Her husband says the
state is ignoring his wife’s
wishes, the Mail Tribune
reported. He went to court
after he found out Fern
Gardens, a memory care
facility designed for patients
with Alzheimer’s, had been
spoon-feeding his wife.
Jackson County Circuit
Judge Patricia Crain said she
could not order the nursing
home to stop spoon-feeding
Nora because the state
ombudsman’s ofice said
not helping her eat would
violate state law. An attorney
who represented the ofice
noted that Oregon law does
not allow guardians to give
directions to withhold food
— only artiicial nutrition
and hydration.
“It’s not a happy decision
for me,” Crain told Bill
Harris and his daughter
during a court hearing.
“From what you describe
of your wife and your mom,
she would hate this.”
Bill Harris lost July 13
but declined to challenge
the judge’s decision. Harris
doesn’t think his wife will
live the 18 months to three
years the court battle could
take.
Oregon was the irst U.S.
state to allow doctors to
help terminally ill patients
end their lives. But people
with dementia or Alzhei-
mer’s disease are ineligible
to request medication to

BRIEFLY
Judge awards Hanford
whistleblowers $216,000
SEATTLE (AP) — A judge has awarded
two whistleblowers at the Hanford Nuclear
Reservation more than $216,000, plus legal
fees, after inding that the contractor they
worked for retaliated against them for raising
safety concerns.
Kirtley Clem and Matthew Spencer
were working as computer professionals at
Hanford’s medical clinic in 2012 when their
employer, Computer Sciences Corporation,
was launching a new software system for
medical records.
In a decision released Monday, a n
administrative law judge with the U.S. Labor
Department found that managers brushed
aside their concerns that the new software
system could put workers at risk. For example,
according to the watchdog group Hanford
Challenge, the system might have allowed
an employee with beryllium disease to be

end their lives because
the illnesses impair deci-
sion-making.
Eric Foster, an attorney
appointed by the court to
represent Nora Harris, said
in court documents that the
advanced directive did not
explicitly say she did not
want help eating.
“The best evidence of
whether Mrs. Harris should
be provided with food assis-
tance is her current desire
to eat,” Foster wrote. “Mrs.
Harris could consistently
refuse to eat, if that was her
desire. If she refuses meals
in the future, Fern Gardens
will not pressure her to eat.”
Bill Harris and his
attorney contend Nora
Harris is not choosing to
eat but simply responding
relexively to a spoon held to
her mouth.
Fred Steele, agency
director of the state
ombudsman’s ofice, said
the mission is to make sure
people in long-term care are
treated with respect and their
rights are protected.
“The advance directive
form only speaks to artiicial
nutrition,” he says. “This
case is not dealing with
artiicial nutrition and that’s
the complication.”
Nora Harris has been in
Fern Gardens since 2013.
Twice since then she has
been placed in hospice care
after her weight fell. Her
family believed the end was
near each time.
“It’s frustrating and
heartbreaking that she has
this horrible disease and
her wishes have not been
respected,” her daughter
Anne Harris said. “It makes
you sad that this is how the
end of her life is going to
go.”
