Schindler-Schiavo Scheduled to Die in January.(Terri Schindler-Schiavo)
Terri Schindler-Schiavo will be starved and dehydrated to death beginning January 3 at 3 p.m., Florida Judge George Greer ruled November 22. Greer insisted that Schindler-Schiavo, who has been disabled after suffering brain damage in 1990, has no chance of recovery, the St. Petersburg Times reported.
"I'm sickened and I'm very angry," Terri's father Bob Schindler told WorldNetDaily (WND). "Over the past two and a half years [Greer] has made about 60 decisions adverse to Terri and our family, from denying swallowing tests and other tests to denial of visitation. ... He even denied us the right to take photographs of her."
Terri sustained brain damage when she collapsed in her home on February 25, 1990, after an apparent heart attack deprived her brain of oxygen for several minutes. Now 38, Terri can breathe, swallow, and maintain a heartbeat and blood pressure on her own. She currently lives at Hospice House Woodside in Pinellas Park.
Michael Schiavo, Terri's husband, first requested the removal of Schindler-Schiavo's feeding tube in 1998. He has said that Terri would not want to be kept alive through artificial means. Terri's family disputes the claim and has been fighting a long court battle to block his efforts.
Greer, of the 6th Judicial Circuit Court in Clearwater, Florida, first authorized Schindler-Schiavo's death in February 2001, and she was without food and fluids for 60 hours beginning April 24, according to the Times. Her parents obtained a temporary injunction of the order and she was fed, but Judge Greer again ordered her feeding tube to be removed.
Terri never authored a written directive. At the trial in 2000 Greer based his decision on testimony by Schiavo, his brother, and his sister-in-law that Terri had made "casual statements" to them that she would not want to be kept alive artificially.
This latest ruling came after an October hearing in which five doctors testified about Schindler-Schiavo's prognosis. Two doctors selected by the Schindlers stated that she could improve if given proper therapy.
