Name of woman in coma that her parents & husband fought over turning off life support? |
I don't remember what state this was in but it was in the last 3 years that this took place. The couple had decided long before she went on life support that neither one of them wanted to linger like that. I believe she was the parents only girl & she has a brother. They went to court over this and the husband won. Does anyone remember her name? Thanks shaivo Shaivo; florida terry shiavo Terry Schiavo Terri Schaivo. (or maybe Terry, not sure how it was spelled) it was a florida case , her first name was karen shavio i think Terry Shaivo. Teri Schiavo I remember that. I don't remember the name though. I think it was in either Florida on New Jersey. Terri Schiavo Terri Shavo - I don't think I spelled her name correctly. Terry Shivo Terry Schiavo, Florida. Terri Shciavo Her name was Terri Schivo terri schivo in florida I swear I was just thinking about that poor woman yesterday... Terri Schaivo. What happened to her is horrible, and her husband should be locked up for murder if you ask me! Just think of how she suffered, and how her family has suffered! Anyways, why are you asking? I'm just curious. I looked it up.......Theresa Marie Schindler-Schiavo It looks like every one got the same thing I was thinking. Terry Shaivo, Florida her name was Teresa (Terry) Schiavo, she was from Florida and she was not in a coma. She was brain damaged, but the extent of the brain damage was disputed by many doctors. She was able to communicate through facial movements but that was classified by some doctors as being involuntary. She only went into the coma after so many days of not being fed. Her husband's lawyer was a proponent and advocate of legalized euthanasia. Her husband had already been living with another woman and had children with the woman. |
