Schiavo Right-to-Die Case Ordered Reopened
- Share via
A Florida appeals court said a lawsuit over whether a brain-damaged woman should be kept on life support must be reopened to consider more testimony.
The ruling, which overturns a decision by the judge overseeing the highly publicized right-to-die case, is a victory for the parents of Theresa “Terri” Schiavo, 40.
The suit challenges a law that ordered Schiavo’s feeding tube reinserted six days after it had been removed at the request of her husband and legal guardian, Michael Schiavo.
