1) Should people like this (who purposely increase their weight and size) be denied handicap parking or other services the truly handicap are privy to? What about private and/or tax-paid health care?
One could argue the desire to be incredibly obese is a mental handicap.
In any case, it's pretty impractical to impose such law, and considering the few instances where someone else had no handicap spot to park in because of her, furthers the silliness of such legislation.

2) Being unable to work (due to her size), she's getting the money from somewhere to cover her sick obsession. If it's from some public funding, should she be cut off? If she is cut off, do you find a way to get her to repay, like a lien on her house?
That's bullshit.
I had a teacher in highschool who was fucking huge. She got stuck in her car a couple times. There's plenty of productive things one can do sitting down, and a number of things that can be done while never leaving your house.
Anyway, if she's aided by public funding, then she has no incentive to get to a reasonable size and be productive. She should be left to her own devices, then she might think (or might have thought) twice about being huge. Now if she actually looked like she was older than 25-30, and had maybe actually paid into such things, I'd be a little less apt drop her.

3) Do you consider this child neglect? She has a 12 year old son.
That becomes a lesser of two evils. Does little Billy stay with mommy who does adequately take care of him, but will probably die before 18. Or do you just through little Billy into the foster system that usually sucks ass, but does adequately care for him, and get the shock of foster care over with early with the possibility of a great foster family showing up?
And I'm giving the benefit of the doubt when I assume she's adequately taking care of her kid.

4) Upon her death, should the insurance company rule it as a suicide so they don't have to pay out for her eating herself to death?
She doesn't have life insurance, that's moot.
But if she did, it would all depend on the contract. Considering how much she'd have to pay in premiums, I would hope that it paid something out.

5) For $3,000,000, would you hit it for one hour while someone takes pictures for some Chubby website?
Considering I could retire myself immediately and my immediate family once they hit 40, yes.
Money definitely in cash and up front though.
Also, I think you mean BBW website (she is far from chubby). Which I would like to bring up a point: BBW =/= take up the entire king size mattress with your ass fat. Atleast it shouldn't, there really needs to be a separate category for those kinds of people.
