Legal Fight in Florida Over Comatose Woman Pits Her Parents, Husband Against Each Other.

The husband of a woman who’s been in a coma-like state for 12 years can have her feeding tube removed and be allowed to die, a judge ruled Friday.

After a month of consideration, a judge has once again given his approval to remove the feeding tube from a comatose Pinellas County woman. The decision by Circuit Judge George Greer may clear the way for Terri Schiavo to die.

A judge has again ordered that a comatose woman’s feedings be stopped, siding against her parents and in favor of the husband who believes she should be allowed to die.

A woman whose husband and parents are battling over whether to let her die will be kept alive pending another hearing, a Florida appeals court ruled Wednesday.

The woman whose husband and parents are battling over whether she should be allowed to die will continue to be fed through a tube for weeks under an order issued Wednesday by an appeals court.

A man seeking to end the life of his comatose wife against the wishes of her parents asked for a court order Monday that would allow him to again cut off her food and water.

Life-support feeding for a woman who has been comatose for 11 years resumed two days after her husband had it cut off to let her die.

Court activity intensifies as the deadline approaches for the removal of Terri Schiavo’s feeding tube. Terri Schiavo’s father is asking for the removal of the original judge who ruled his daughter should be allowed to die.

The parents of a woman who has been in a coma since 1990 asked the state Supreme Court on Thursday to stop her husband fromhaving her feeding tube removed.

Michael Schiavo tells a judge he does not want to wait any longer before letting Terri Schiavo die, a move her parents vehemently oppose.
