19 years ago on March 31, 2005, after almost 14 days without nutrition or hydration, Terri Schindler Schiavo died by severe dehydration. What was her crime? Her crime was that she needed a feeding tube and fluids, all to stay alive.
Terri’s case went national. President Bush became involved, the Florida legislature sought to intervene on her behalf, while requests made by her parents were struck down by the courts. Pro-life organizations from around America were involved as well and eventually her case went all the way to the Supreme Court, more than once.
What led to the collapse at her home? What do we know about her then husband Michael? Was she brain dead, in a coma or reliant upon machines to keep her alive? What led up to her death sentence by court order? Join Brad as he answers these and many more questions surrounding this tragic death that we must never forget.
