Terri Schiavo

Terri Schiavo appears in a video made sometime after her 1990 heart attack, which caused the 26-year-old woman to fall into what courts have ruled is a "persistent vegetative state." She has been at the center of a court battle between her parents and her husband over the removal of her feeding tube. Michael Schiavo says his wife told him she would not want to be kept alive artificially. Her parents dispute that, saying she could get better.
