About National Terri's Day

United States
Ends: Mar 31, 2024
DESCRIPTION:
On March 31, 2005, Terri Schindler Schiavo died in a Florida hospice after a court ordered the removal of a feeding tube and prohibited anyone from assisting her in eating.
Terri had been beaten severely by her husband, receiving multiple internal injuries and brain damage. Yet, he remained her legal guardian and in control of her life throughout her hospitalization. He argued that she would not have wanted prolonged artificial life support with no chance for recovery in a vegetative state. Hospital photos show her interacting with people and not in a vegetative state. Her husband then went to court to get a ruling to remove her feeding tube and any oral assistance in eating (she could swallow food), thus starving her to death.
That decision and the surrounding legal struggle proved unpopular with Terri's parents, friends, and religious institutions worldwide. That led to March 31 earning the name "Terri's Day," a day to advocate for human rights, patient rights, and the removal of abusers and those convicted of domestic violence from the role of legal guardian.
