Terri Schiavo, a Floridian woman, died on Mar. 31, 2005 after 15 years of living in a vegetative state. She collapsed at the age of 26, suffering from brain damage, which left her totally dependent on others for basic care. This included food and water, which were vital to her life and sent to her through a feeding tube. Never had her parents dreamed of having it removed from her until her then husband and guardian, Michael Schiavo, petitioned the court to stop Terri from receiving food and water.
