Terri Schiavo case
The Terri Schiavo case was a legal battle. It involved prolonged life support in the United States. The case began in 1998 and lasted until 2005. Teresa Marie "Terri" Schiavo was in a Persistent Vegetative State and there was a controversy about stopping life support. [1][2]
She had collapsed in her St. Petersburg, Florida home because of cardiac arrest on February 25, 1990. This had caused a large amount of damage to her brain. This damage caused her to be in a Persistent Vegetative State. Her feeding tube was disconnected on March 18, 2005. She died thirteen days later.[3]
