The Terri Schiavo case involved a legal battle over the medical treatment of Terri Schiavo, a woman who suffered a severe brain injury in 1990, leaving her in a persistent vegetative state. Her husband, Michael Schiavo, sought to remove her feeding tube, arguing that she would not have wanted to live in such a condition, while her parents opposed this decision, believing she could recover. The case drew national attention and sparked debates about end-of-life decisions, patient rights, and the role of government in personal medical choices. After years of legal disputes, the feeding tube was ultimately removed in March 2005, leading to her death on March 31, 2005.
