Thank you for your comment. I agree, only the author should be allowed to make such drastic changes to any written work. Once he/she dies, then the work they leave behind should remain unchanged.

No one but the author should ever be allowed to change the text. If "she meant to do this" the changes should be included separately or clearly marked. Any text should be referred to as "Altered." Copyright is intended to preserve the manuscript as published or discovered, not become a legal means to make it politically correct for grandma. I think it’s a travesty and should be illegal.
