About Terri Schiavo

The Terri Schiavo case was a seven-year long successful effort by Michael Schiavo to have his wife, Terri Schiavo — already diagnosed as being in a persistent vegetative state (PVS) for several years — disconnected from life support, thus soon ending her biological life. While as early as 1993, Michael as Terri's guardian, had entered a Do not resuscitate order for her which he was soon convinced to have rescinded, in 1998 he petitioned under Florida law Section 765.401(3) the Pinellas County Circuit Court to remove her feeding tube. The parents of Terri Schiavo, Robert and Mary Schindler, opposed this, arguing Terri was conscious. Michael later ceded authority over the matter to the court, which determined that Terri would not wish to continue life-prolonging measures.
