Terri Schiavo, a severely brain-damaged Florida woman, became a national symbol for how not to die in America in 1990. Her husband, Michael Schiavo, argued that his wife would never have wanted to live like that and attempted to get the feeding tube removed. Her parents disagreed and fought to keep her alive. Schiavo's case languished inside courtrooms for years. Eventually, the courts agreed with her husband and removed the feeding tubes. Terri died on March 31, 2005.
