Donna Simpson has an unusual ambition: she wants to be the world's fattest woman.
Miss Simpson, 42, from New Jersey, USA, already holds the Guinness World Record as the world's biggest mum.
She was 520lbs when she had daughter Jacqueline, three, becoming the largest woman to give birth.
Now she weighs a mega 600lbs, or 43 stone, and hopes to break the 1,000lbs or half a ton mark.

Thanks for posting this Octopus! Yes this is slow suicide! However we will risk losing our civil liberties, if she is forced by law to trim down. Cigarette smokers would probably be next in line, if we allow government to stop life endangering behavior of this form! Slow suicide is for the large part legal!

But Anna, smoking, while unhealthy, does not pose an immediate risk to life. I would imagine that being up to 1,000 pounds in weight would make any person a walking heart-attack. The huge risks to life present an immediate 'clear and present danger'.

If this woman could be decleared mentally incompetent or insane first she could be put in a clinic and saved from her self destruction! It seems like you'd have a better chance to get chronic alcoholics declared mentally incompetent though! I think this women is following the same attention seeking warped logic that Lizard man biglinmarshall.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=292 is following! Celebrity status even if it means being a "Freak"!

I saw this in the paper and like Anna, imagine she is doing this to get publicity and perhaps money. Perhaps it will all backfire horribly.
It seems that at the moment she can walk, but there are grossly overweight mums who can't, whose children have to wait on them hand and foort because they are so obese they can do nothing for themselves. One was on the UK TV recently, awaiting a stomach-reducing operation; perhaps a copy of that should be sent to this irresponsible woman.

I think you're absolutely right about the attention seeking! She probably hopes to be invited on the Larry King Show and similar talk shows not to mention possible newspaper interviews! If she were forced to abstain from overeating she would probably lapse into a depression and those who only wish to save her from "lethal overeating" would look bad! The US is about "the pursuit of happiness" and this poor lady believes her only chance to become a person worthy of recognition is by continuing her excessive overeating!

Either that, or she is trying to make a virtue out of something she can't stop, and perhaps doesn't want to.
As I said, if she can still walk she has a long way to go.

I understand that her husband is encouraging her as well.....so either they are both mentally ill or, if they are not, doing it as a stunt to get publicity/money (a bit like the family who pretended their kid had been taken away by an out of control home made hot air balloon). If they are doing it as a stunt then you could say they are mentally ill in any case because they must know that she is a dead woman walking - and if they don't, then they both have the IQ of a retarded gnat.
It's the child I feel sorry for.

I'm beginning to suspect that this woman is simply making a living off of her condition and doesn't truly intend to become 1,000 lbs.. Of course that would be suicide! According to this news report her "fans"-probably sicko sadists and perverts- send her plenty of money to fatten up! Real sick! I believe this woman is going to keep her obesity constant, take the money and use it for family matters as well. She apparently has to eat online to get her creepy fans excited! The woman in the YouTube link below is totally immobilized and Mrs. Simpson is certainly smart enough to avoid ending up like that.

If anyone sends money to watch an online suicide they deserve to be ripped off!
