I'm not sure insurance could cover it since she's technically dead.

Sorry but the hospital has gone above and beyond in mollycoddling this family. They are proving to be nuttier than squirrel shit, attention whores or both.

The letter sent to the lawyer by the hospital is almost hilarious...and the hospital has had NO response as to where the facility that is willing to take this person "in her current state". My guess is that facilities were willing to take a PVS person but not a dead person. The hospital has released the letter stating they need the name of the facility, the people to contact and the name and point of contact for the company transporting her. This was on Friday. No response.

I can't remember if someone here said it -- and my apologies for not going back and reading -- but, it was the idea of a feeding tube. If the body is dead, and is/will be decaying, a feeding tube will just stuff the stomach and related organs with food that will not be processed. Will they just stuff her full of food until the stomach explodes? It's not like a dead body is going to go to the bathroom and eliminate the food.

The mother of Jahi McMath has alleged that the hospital where her 13-year-old daughter is on life support is not feeding her and have now begun to refer to her as 'the body'.
The shocking allegations made by Latasha 'Nailah' Winkfield come just one day after she won a court injunction to stop the Children's Hospital of Oakland from unhooking her girl from the machines that are currently keeping the teen alive.
'To watch my daughter just sit there and not have food ... I'm just so happy that she is kind of a thick girl so she still looks good,' Latasha Winkfield said today.
'I tell her every day, 'Jahi, you losin' weight girl, but you still look good.' I just think it's inhumane to not feed my child, to not refer to her by her name, and stop us in our tracks.'
Winkfield accused staff at the hospital of insensitive behavior - referring only to her daughter as a cadaver and not even giving her a Christian name.
'I hate it that they refer to her as just the body or the deceased; that is my child that they're talking about,' Winkfield said to ABC News.
'They don't even use her name.'

While Children's Hospital has yet to accept formal documentation, Jahi's attorney's have submitted court papers that reveal they plan to move her to the New Beginnings Community Center in Medford, on New York's Long Island.
The McMath family attorney Chris Dolan told NBC News on Tuesday that he planned to confirm today that the center was poised to take Jahi.
In an interview with NBC New York, Allyson Scerri, the founder of New Beginnings, who used to own a beauty salon, said that her center is 'all about life and that's what we believe in. We believe in hope and never giving up.'

So, she'll be decomposing but still have her circulation and whatnot going? That's... interesting.
Now, obviously what they're doing is cruel and stupid, etc., but am I a terrible person for finding this absolutely fascinating? I mean, the humanitarian bit of me wants this shit put to an end, but the scientist in me wants to observe and take extensive notes...
Seriously, the whole thing kind of reminds me of Poe's The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar. Well, sort of.
