Schiavo case

The Schiavo case involved Terri Schiavo, a woman in a persistent vegetative state after a cardiac arrest. Her husband wanted to remove her feeding tube, believing she wouldn’t recover, while her parents objected, arguing she might. The case became a prolonged legal and ethical battle over her right to die versus her family's wishes, highlighting complex issues of medical consent, quality of life, and individual autonomy. After years of courtroom decisions, her feeding tube was eventually removed in 2005, leading to her death. The case sparked nationwide debate on end-of-life care and patients' rights.
