Schiavo dies amid legal, ethical battle:
Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged woman at the center of a family battle fought on a national stage, died Thursday morning, nearly two weeks after doctors removed her life-sustaining feeding tube. […]

Michael Schiavo, Terri’s husband and guardian, controlled who could visit her and when.

Spoon feeding is not medical treatment. This outrageous order proves that the courts are not merely permitting medical treatment to be withheld, they have ordered her to be made dead.”
