i'm ayman in new york. start right now. have a good night. a good night. (wind chime dinging) (wat splashing) - when i would go see her, i used to stand by her door, and if she was looking the other way, i would stand there and say, "terri, it's mommy." she would turn right around and look at me, okay? right at me, and nobody believed me. well, that's their problem. (gentle choral music) she was there. she could hear me. she knew i loved her. she wanted to be there. (gentle choral music) hi sweetheart. hi. it doesn't matter what was wrong if she just laid there for the rest of her life. all i wanted to do was love her and take care of her. hi babe. but then everything changed. terri. - [interviewer] you got a letter in the mail. do you remember what the letter said? - just that they wanna kill my daughter. (dramatic music) - [news reporter] the battle over terri schiavo has come to involve state judges, federal judges, the supreme court, the congress, and even the president of the united states. - [voiceover] you have to understand what the fear of death is. what are you so afraid of? why do we feel so negative and so helpless? we are afraid of the unknown. - [pastor] god determines when life begins and when it ends, not anybody else. she's not a vegetable and she needs to be loved. why do you wanna kill her? - [protestors] let terri live. let terri live. let terri live. - terri schiavo, a woman that most americans have never heard of. - let terri live. let terri live. - now at the center of another cultural debate in america. - [protester] this is the rise of christian fascism. let her die in peace! (escalator whirring) (footsteps tapping) (gentle music) - [anita] i covered the terri schiavo case for the tampa bay times, and it really, really resonated with everybody. - it seems to me like this case is starting another debate. when does life end? - we now define life with squiggles of electrical phenomena and pieces of paper, and this case shows us our own feelings about our mortality. we are afraid to let her go because we are afraid of our own mortality. - you know, who is to decide what is a good life and what's not? and i think that everybody has their own view on that. - i would never pull the plug on anybody, because there's always the chance that they might be alive again. even if somebody, even if a doctor tells you that they won't be. - i think there is eventually a better life for people, but they need to move on to that better life, so i believe very much in pulling the plug. - and so when i was writing, i struggled a little with whether it was a right-to-die case or a right to life case. totally different, but it was both of those things. (birds chirping) (gentle music) (traffic rumbling) i first heard about terri schiavo back in 2000 when i got an anonymous tip that i should go to a certain courtroom to see a trial that was about to start. it was in probate court, which is generally people you know, dealing with wills and, you know, people, what happens after they die, so i didn't know at all what it could be, and so i just kind of wanted to sit down and just listen for a little while. (lawyer and judge speaking faintly) and i had never seen anything like it. (lawyer speaking faintly) - terri's very difficult to take care of. she needs a lot of care. - it was this family that was divided. - [lawyer] and provide oral evidence. - [anita] bitterly divided over this woman, terri. - to say (indistinct) - after her accident, she couldn't talk. and so they were trying to basically piece together what she would've wanted. (lawyer speaking faintly) you know, it was this whole trial about someone who wasn't in the courtroom. - [lawyer] have you noticed any improvement in theresa schiavo's mental condition? - no. - ever? - no. - [anita] and everybody wanted to know what terri was like. - i believe she understands. i believe that she knows that i'm there. - the schindler's were positive that she was conscious, that she was thinking and feeling. - she started tracking me with her eyes. - but michael schiavo was confident that she was gone. - [production staff] you ready to roll, fred? ready? - i am. - okay. - speeding here. - you know when it gets into this story, sometimes you lose the perspective of time. this has been going on for a very long time. - 10 years. - is there any way to express what these 10 years have been like for you? - somebody that i loved, (gentle music) somebody that i adored was taken away, ripped out of my life, and to see her in this condition, it's awful. (static buzzes) - after it happened, i remember going to visit her, and how emotionally upset i would get when i would see her like that. i guess when you see the movies, you see someone in a coma and then the next day they wake up and everything and they're fine. you know, i didn't understand anything about brain injury, so there's probably part of me that thought that, okay, one day i'm just gonna walk in and terri's gonna be, "hey bobby, how you doing?" (gentle music) (people chattering faintly) and when that wasn't happening, yeah, i mean that was tough. because i knew terri before that as, i mean, just fun-loving, wonderful sister. (gentle music continues) growing up, we were very close. we were just 13 months apart. some referred to that as being irish twins, so terri and i were kind of joined at the hip. - he followed her everywhere. he just followed her around all over the place. (laughs) we had three children. terri was the oldest, my shy one. she had a couple friends, but not a lot. and she gained weight all the way through high school. - i remember terri kind of struggling with her weight. she stayed in more. she liked to draw. she had a passion for animals. she would talk about wanting to work at a zoo, eventually becoming a veterinarian. after she graduated high school, she started to lose weight, and she just became more extroverted. really a different person. and then she was getting attention from men, and that's ultimately how she met michael. (gentle choral music) she was 19 when they were engaged, and 20 when they got married. when michael asked to marry her, she was just overjoyed. - i, theresa, take you michael, to be my husband. i promise to be true to you in good times and bad, in sickness and in health. (gentle music) - it was in our lady of good council, our parish. michael wasn't catholic. he had to get a special dispensation to marry terri in the catholic church, and i remember, just a lot of dancing, you know, just a typical wedding.

(gentle music) - when terri and michael moved down to florida, that really precipitated all of us moving, 'cause they went first and now we gotta go because she's down there. (laughs) back then, we were all so close, and michael was part of the family. terri was very happy. she kind of came into herself through florida. - i did terri's hair the day before she collapsed. and when it happened, i was just, i was devastated. everybody was just heartbroken. she was ready to start her life. (water splashing) (traffic rumbling) - so that was their apartment right there. i lived just, maybe, i don't even think it's a quarter mile from here. so when i got the call, i was here within minutes. i just grabbed my keys and just threw a pair of shorts on and was here pretty fast. it was such a traumatic event that is something you just don't forget. - tell me about that night, that early morning in 1990. - yeah, i was asleep and i heard a thud, so i ran out to the hall, jumped outta bed, ran out to the hall, and found terri laying on the floor. i picked her up in my arms and i was holding her and i was shaking her. i was like, "terri, talk to me. you're scaring me. terri, talk to me." and she wouldn't respond. her neck and her arms and everything were just limp. so i laid her back down on the floor. i ran over and i called 9-1-1. - when i got to the hospital, the mood was very grim because nobody seemed to know what happened, other than she went into cardiac arrest, and she had been without oxygen for a very long time. it's called anoxia, and i remember them telling us that she was gonna have a significant brain injury. - she couldn't talk and she couldn't walk. but what happened to her? somebody just doesn't fall down and collapse without a reason. - they were trying to understand why her heart would just arbitrarily stop like that, so i think they were looking at her imbalances in her system. - because her potassium level was so low, they thought that could have been an indication that there was some type of eating issue. i never suspected it. i was out with terri a lot, but at the time it sounded plausible. - i didn't think she had an eating disorder, but i think maybe she did. you know, over the years she lost a significant amount of weight. - when you're with a client, you're not six feet away. you're right up in people's face, i mean right next to her, and you're touchin' 'em, and it's very intimate. she didn't look healthy to me. she seemed a little bit dark around the eyes. i believed there was a problem there, but she definitely kept her secret from me, and i think she kept her secret from mike, too. - [doctor] it's chocolate, terri. is she much of a chocolate lover? - [michael] she was more into fruity flavors. - [doctor] what do you think about this, theresa? (device buzzes) can you hear that? (device buzzes) - they said that she was in a persistent vegetative state. pvs. (mouse clicking) the definition of pvs is no interaction, response, unable to communicate in any way. (terri moaning) - all right, relax. it'll go away. it'll go away. - during that time, i just remember all the focus was on trying to get terri help and getting her rehab and try to improve her condition. (terri moans) - it'll go away. relax. (terri moans) it'll go away. - it was stressful. you know, michael was going through a lot, but he was doing just what he needed to do to try and help terri get better. (gentle music) - she is young, beautiful, and trapped in a coma. her only hope, experimental treatment. - no doctor can tell me that there's no hope, 'cause i know she's in there. she's just having problems coming out. - we heard about the doctor in california that did these brain inserts. - [news reporter] doctors in california plant electrodes at the base of the brain of coma victims to stimulate damaged brain cells. - he brought her home, but they had a thing that you had to turn. - this is the button you push. just take it up at 1.9. - [mary] and it was very complicated, but he learned all that. - [michael] now, terri, you're supposed to sit up. - [mary] and walk out of here. he was very dedicated. michael was very dedicated to her. - theresa, theresa, theresa. - michael and i, we got along very well, and we needed each other. both of us were taking care of her. michael, he would spend half day with her. - tell you what, see the big duck sticking out? it's nice out here, huh? - stretch up. hopefully those pathways to the brain will be reestablished. - [bobby] it was gonna be expensive to care for terri to cover what she was gonna need to help her. rehab, therapy, doctors. - theresa, theresa? can't see any scanning. - and once the insurance runs out, you're only provided a certain amount of days of rehab. once that's exhausted, you either do it yourself, find a way to pay for it, or they gotta be put in a nursing home and basically get warehoused. so michael filed a malpractice lawsuit against terri's previous doctors, their family doctor and her gynecologist, because it was felt that they could have prevented her collapse. - terri had been seeing her doctor with regards to trying to get pregnant, and the doctor should have caught her eating disorder because they should have seen her chemical imbalances and therefore may have been able to address that before anything happened. - they awarded $700,000 that was put into a trust fund for terri that was supposed to be used for her care therapy rehabilitation. - but the relationship with michael abruptly changed after the settlement came in. michael felt differently about terri's care and decided that he wasn't gonna spend any more money on terri's rehabilitation. - [michael] sit up. there you go. sit up in the chair. sit up in the chair. - he said that he came to the realization that terri was no longer gonna improve. he said that he was terri's caregiver. he'll be making decisions and he basically informed my parents at that time that they were no longer gonna be part of the her care moving forward. before my doctor and i chose breztri for my copd, i had bad days, (cough, cough) flare-ups that could permanently damage my lungs. with breztri, things changed for me. breztri gave me better breathing. starting within 5 minutes, i noticed my lung function improved. it helped improve my symptoms, and breztri was even proven to reduce flare-ups, including those that could send me to the hospital. so now i look forward to more good days. breztri won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. it is not for asthma. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. don't take breztri more than prescribed. breztri may increase your risk of thrush, pneumonia, and osteoporosis. call your doctor if worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes, or eye pain occur. can't afford your medication? astrazeneca may be able to help. ask your doctor about breztri. at changed your mind? astrazeneca may be able to help. - for four years, i thought she was in there. i believe she knew me and then she needed to get an eeg done, so i took her to a neurologist. he did the eeg on terri, and after the eeg was done, he pulled me into his office and he sat me down and he looked me right in the face, and he told me, "she died four years ago." (dramatic music) i exhausted everything i could do for terri. doctor after doctor, after doctor, and all of the rehab. the brain stimulator did not work. i had a meeting with all the doctors, and they said that this is terri, there's nothing more they can do for her. then it was starting to sink in. terri will never be terri ever again. (gentle choral music) - what? (terri croaking) what, baby? what? - you know, we didn't know what michael was doing or not doing for terri. we just knew that we weren't gonna be part of his life anymore. and then everything changed in 1997, when my parents received the letter. (dramatic music) (waves splashing) - we knew that michael didn't believe terri could get any better, but we were totally blindsided by that letter. it was from michael's attorney. the gist of it was michael wanted to remove terri's feeding tube. - this portion of the tube is actually in the patient's body going into the stomach, and then this end is attached to the feed like this. - terri, she wasn't able to swallow food, so that feeding tube was keeping her alive, and then michael was trying to actively end terri's life to kill her. - that's when we knew it was gonna go to court. that was it. we never spoke to him again, and i still haven't spoke to him to this day. (birds squawking) - in our society, there's such an underlying fear of death, fear of extinguishment. it's so deeply rooted in our culture, it triggers such strong reactions among so many. and i think this case helped bring those fears to light. - the bible says, "dust thou art and unto dust shall thou return." the basic fact of life is that it ends. right to die is a moniker for the legal right to refuse medical treatment that you no longer want. - there was nothing else we could do. we did what we had to do. - [george] it started in the '70s, and the initial cases were ventilator cases. there's a machine that is providing respiration, and the courts agreed. yeah, that's medical treatment and can be withdrawn. it's literally pull the plug. the electricity stops. no more breathing. and then you had the feeding tube cases in the '80s. - [group member] take up satan's teeth and pray, lord. - in the name of jesus. - oh, jesus. - the blood of jesus. - ride his mighty power. - people were more uncomfortable with the feeding tube cases. there's no machine, there's no plug, just a tube hanging on a pole. i handled florida's seminal right-to-die case. until that case, it was virtually impossible to remove a feeding tube in the state of florida. so i got to be known as the right-to-die expert, if you like. that's why michael came to me and he explained the family dispute. so, sure, i knew it would be a tough case, but i had no idea whatsoever it would turn into the case that it did. - okay, listen up. this is a tough question. could you decide if a loved one lives or dies? a bay area family is having to do just that. - it's now up to a pinellas circuit judge to decide the woman's fate. (water splashing) - terri schiavo had no advanced directives, so she had no living will, she had no healthcare surrogate. there was nothing in writing to tell anybody what she wanted done if something like this occurred. (gentle music) she was 26 when she went into cardiac arrest. (people speaking faintly) and the basic question was, what would she want? - michael had the legal authority to remove the feeding tube under florida law, but only if there's clear and convincing evidence of the patient's intent. (people speaking faintly) - michael, he had to somehow formulate some type of evidence and present to the court that terri had said that if she was ever in a condition like this, that she would want to die. - in october of '85, we flew down here. - so this was from michael's testimony. in reading it, she said, "if i ever have to be a burden to anybody, i don't want to live like that." well, (laughs) michael was making this up. he lied. it's that simple. - [news reporter] a judge will soon decide if a clearwater woman should live or die. her husband is fighting to get her feeding tube removed, but the woman's parents believe that one day she could still wake up. - when you make a ruling, you need to get a sense about whether or not a person is believable. (gentle music) michael had a conflict. - if terri does die, her husband would stand to inherit $700,000 from a medical malpractice settlement. - [george] so i was reluctant to base a decision solely on what michael had to say. - terri had made mention that, you know, she would never wanna be kept alive like that. - [george] but at the trial, michael's brother testified and he backed up what michael said. - why prolong that person's agony? - i think most people don't want to be kept alive until the second coming. if there's no hope of recovery, let me go. the story was credible, and i was persuaded beyond any real doubt that was her wish. - when judge greer ruled in michael's favor, we were just, i think we were all just kind of in shock at first. we were all just kind of like, what just happened? - [reporter] do you believe terri did make these comments about not wanting to live that way, to to go on that way? - i don't think she ever said those comments. i knew my sister a lot longer than her husband, and i just don't believe she ever made those type of statements. no way. - [reporter] what is your hope and your wish right now, bobby? - right now, i'm just... (cries softly) (gentle music) (wind chimes dinging) - [news reporter] last week, terri schiavo was moved from a nursing home in largo to a hospice in pinellas park. - [news reporter] the feeding tube will be disconnected from terri schiavo at the end of the month. - at hospice, our purpose is to help families and friends of someone who was dying to have a peaceful, comfortable, exquisite, but painful experience to be with their loved one when they pass over. you know, hospice is a movement that really started in the late '70s and early '80s. - it's a very different kind of dying than being in an intensive care unit hooked up on tubes and respirators and monitors and machines. we have become experts at keeping people alive because our approach to life is so completely materialistic. - [annie] our relationship to death in this country has been skewed. people don't think about dying. they think there's always gonna be some technology to keep them alive. but in hospice, in addition to medical support, spirituality is an intentional part of the care model, counseling and listening's part of the care model. - what does dying mean to you? - michael was a young man at that time, and i can't imagine the burden this was for him. and i said, "well, you're a good person to be doing what you're doing. you know, if it was me, i'd want the same thing." - in hospice, the goal is to help their passage be as peaceful as possible, and to help the family accept what's happening. - [news reporter] in florida, a feeding tube was removed from terri schiavo, a woman who's been in a coma for more than 11 years. doctors expect her to die within two weeks. (water babbling) - we went to visit terri. the feeding tube had been removed and i think it was that day we left, my dad got a call from a bay news 9 reporter. so we stopped. - we're now talking with bob schindler, father of terri schiavo. first of all, bob, you were at terri's bedside (fades out) - and i remember i was standing there watching the interview, and the reporter asked my dad how he felt about everything that's going on with terri. - [reporter] tell us how you're feeling right now. - as a family, our concern now is terri, and we're focusing on terri, and she has a tough couple weeks ahead of her. - [reporter] how was your visit today with her? any different? - same, really the same thing, but naturally we felt a lot different. - [reporter] what will it be like for you and your family? the next (drowned out by bobby) - and, my dad, he's a strong guy, but you know, he's a father and wants nothing but to protect his daughter from harm. and he's being told you can't. you can't do a damn thing. and not only can't you do anything, you're gonna sit back and watch her die. - so it's a horrible thing. it really is. and you never expect your child to die before you do, let alone the way that they're gonna kill her. so that part of it is, it's tough, and then i say it again and i'll say it again, please pray for her. and say one for michael schiavo, too. i'm sure he deserves our prayers. (gentle music) (waves crashing) - [interviewer] can you understand how her parents see their child and want nothing else but a miracle? can you understand that feeling? - i certainly can. i am not a parent, and i'm sure it's horrible for a parent to lose a child, but mr. and mr. schindler, they've had 10 years to grieve. they talk miracles. if god wanted to create a miracle, he would've done it a long time ago. (gentle music) (birds chirping) (wind chimes dinging) - they had taken the feeding tube out, and it seemed like the end of this really long, drawn-out saga. - [news reporter] that ends a long legal battle between schiavo's husband, michael, and her parents. - and she was gonna die, but we had no idea what was about to happen.

(gentle music continues) that he didn't know what terri would've wanted. - since day one, this whole case has been misrepresented and the evidence that was given to judge greer is not what it appears to be. - we are hearing today from terri's husband, michael. michael has rarely spoken in public, but today he is speaking out. - bottom line here is i'm trying to carry out terri's wishes. - [interviewer] how do you know for sure what terri's wishes were? - she made comments to me. - now, what do you make of the comments by a woman that you dated after terri who said you told her that you two never talked about it? you were too young to be talking about things like that. - i never made that comment to cindy. - okay, let's see what linda and tampa has to say. go ahead. - [linda] hi, i'm sure that you love her, but the mother and the father, they raised her. now, why don't you divorce her and let the schindlers come to peace with this? let these people have peace. - in other words, let them have her to care for her? - yes. - okay. - they won't carry out terri's wishes. this is about terri. this is about her wishes, and that's why i'm trying to carry these out for her. i love terri tremendously. and you know, everybody looks at the schindlers, the poor schindlers. what about me? what do you think i'm losing? i'm losing my wife, and nobody sees that. (gentle music) - let's take a break. back in a moment. - [news reporter] there is a bitter legal fight that's underway right now over the right to end the life of a woman who (voice fades out) - [news reporter] terri's parents filed the lawsuit, alleging michael committed perjury. - the schindlers took what cindy brasher said to court, but they didn't take it back to judge greer. they took it to a different judge, which was actually strategy. - well, i'm going to find that there is a likelihood of fraud, given the representations of cindy brashers. - [anita] and he ordered the feeding tube back in. - a florida appeals court has reversed a decision to remove a longtime coma patient from life support. - we were like, what? we didn't even understand what was going on. - the effect of the decision is to feed her artificially, to give her medical treatment against her will. - michael schiavo's attorney says an appeal is already in the works. - i guess we got another first down, if people use the analogy of a football game. so we're, you know, we're still in the game. - [anita] to this day it's still even a little bit confusing. the tube was put back in, but there was nothing permanent about it. you know, what cindy brasher said to the radio show or to the investigator wasn't enough. the case went right back to judge greer. - that judge had no business doing that. but the schindlers were granted a temporary injunction. the tube was reinserted. that's when the case got legs, i think. even though it was just temporary, i think the shiners saw that they could get what they wanted through manipulating the judicial system. this is the camera. i bought this in 1986 at a place called montgomery wards. everybody wanted one of these and now you can't give 'em away. it served me well. i'm michael vitadamo. i was married to suzanne schindler, and suzanne asked me if i could videotape terri. the idea was to humanize terri to make her be a, this is an actual person. this isn't just some vegetable lying in the bed, but there was no video cameras allowed in there, so we had to sneak the camera in. suzanne went in and she opened the window and i had to hoist it up through the window and then walk around so the nurses who were on the front desk wouldn't see anything. found a place to plug in the camera, and then we just had mary just come up to terri's bed like she did every other time. (static buzzing) - [mary] it's mommy. hi. what's the matter? (terri croaks) ha-ha. what's the matter? - and then somehow it got out to the media. - [news reporter] in this home video, you can see terri schiavo laughing and moaning with her mother. - [michael] it kind of just exploded. today you would call it viral. - [news reporter] look no further than this home video to see terri is conscious and even reacts to certain family members. - and the family got their message out that this girl is alive. - [interviewer] what do you see when you look at this? - there's somebody home. when you look at her, she is looking at her mother. this woman is not vegetative. - [news reporter] in the middle of a clouded legal battle, a clearwater neurosurgeon, dr. william hammesfahr may have the answers terri's parents have been looking for. - in order to remove terri's food and hydration or feeding tube, he had to prove that she was in a persistent vegetative state, and now because of dr. hammesfahr, this was coming into question and the appellate court ordered medical examinations. - the appellate court said, take another look at it, basically. don't retry the case. it's over. you've been affirmed. here's this new thing. review it and rule it. known as a passionate artist. known for loving the outdoors. known for getting everyone together. no one wants to be known for cancer, but a treatment can be. keytruda is known to treat cancer. fda-approved for 16 types of cancer, including certain early-stage cancers. one of those cancers is triple-negative breast cancer. keytruda may be used with chemotherapy medicines as treatment before surgery and then continued alone after surgery when you have early-stage breast cancer and are at high risk of it coming back. keytruda can cause your immune system to attack healthy parts of your body during or after treatment. this may be severe and lead to death. see your doctor right away if you have cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, diarrhea, severe stomach pain, severe nausea or vomiting, headache, light sensitivity, eye problems, irregular heartbeat, extreme tiredness, constipation, dizziness or fainting, changes in appetite, thirst, or urine, confusion, memory problems, muscle pain or weakness, fever, rash, itching, or flushing. there may be other side effects. tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including immune system problems, if you've had or plan to have an organ or stem cell transplant, received chest radiation, or have a nervous system problem. keytruda is an immunotherapy and is also being studied in hundreds of clinical trials, exploring ways to treat even more types of cancer. it's tru. keytruda from merck. see all the types of cancer keytruda is known for at keytruda.com, and ask your doctor if keytruda could be all right, tandy, what's it gonna be, the drink made from whatever was laying around, or the one made with your drizzly haul? drizly! stock up today, sip well, tomorrow. drizly. all right. 60 seconds to draw the perfect gift. what's it gonna be? a bottle of don julio, 1942, delivered. delivered with drizly. gifting without the guessing. drizly. all right, tandy, what's it gonna be, the drink made from whatever was laying around, or the one made with your drizzly haul? drizly! stock up today, sip well, tomorrow. drizly. all right, tandy, what's it gonna be, the drink made from whatever was laying around, or the one made with your drizzly haul? drizly! stock up today, sip well, tomorrow. drizly. (gentle music)oday, - dr. hammesfahr.row. i'm just gonna check you out a little bit. okay? push against this hand. - so if terri was in a pvs- - good. - she should be unable to communicate, unable to respond to commands. that's essentially the pvs diagnosis. but in his examination, dr. hammesfahr asked terri to open her eyes. - [william] open your eyes up. open your eyes. - and terri hesitates for a few seconds, and then it's undoubtable that she clearly opens her eyes on command. - [william] terri, open your eyes. there you go. good. good. (laughs) good job. good job, young lady. good job. (gentle music continues) - we were so encouraged and hopeful. if judge greer concluded that terri's in a pvs, then they could move forward with removing the feeding tube. if he found that she wasn't, then it could have stopped everything from moving forward and saved terri's life. - okay, baby. what? - [robert] where's that little bag? - [william] okay, you're all set. - dr. hammesfahr for shot about two hours of video during his examination of terri schiavo. - [william] can you close your eyes for me? how much are you able to frame? - so i counted the number of times he gave her a direction. - [william] terri, can you close your eyes for me? - i counted the number of times he asked mary schindler to give her direction. - [william] mary, i want you to ask her to close your eyes. - terri, can you close your eyes for mommy? close your eyes for mommy. (terri groans) can you close your eyes? - close your eyes tightly. - close your eyes for mommy. - [william] close your eyes very tightly. - can you close them? can you open your eyes up real high? - [william] close your eyes real tightly. - can you make a nice stare? - [william] try and look for the red light. - open your eyes. - [george] and there were over 150 directions. - [william] terri, look at me. close 'em real tightly, way over at me. - can you raise your eyebrows? - then i counted the number of times that he said she complied. - [william] open 'em real wide for me. real wide open up, real wide. yeah, i saw that. good job. - so it's almost 200 commands, and maybe five compliances. it just didn't jive to me. - she collapsed in her apartment and she was diagnosed as being in a persistent vegetative state by a number of neurologists, classic persistent vegetative state. (gentle music) my name is jay wolfson. i'm a professor of public health, medicine and pharmacy at the university of south florida. i'm also a professor of health law. the extent to which we can ascertain somebody else's quality and quantity of consciousness by inference, that's what it's all about. but there's a lot of ambiguity. pvs is determined mostly with observational tests. so there's no measurable thing that you put in a beaker and say, ah, two milligrams of this, and five of this, and you every time get the same thing. it's a bit more subjective. 30,000 pages of legal and clinical documents. this is what i was asked to do. i had to make a report. i was asked by the court to provide an opinion about her diagnosis. was there something that was missed by all the doctors and attorneys? papers, radiograms ct scans. to make sure that there was no stone unturned going forward. so the most important thing i could do was to get to know ms. schiavo. (terri groaning) terri would make noises during both her wake stages and her sleeping stages. her head would move. that is part of what someone in a vegetative state does. (terri laughing) (cheerful music playing) they're not intentional, they're just residual things that they do, (gentle music continues) which makes it very confusing. as i felt more comfortable with her, i would hold her hand, touch her head and i would ask her, could she squeeze my hand? could she blink her eyes? could she follow some instructions? none of that resulted in a response, even though i did it over and over and over again. didn't happen. this is ms. schiavo's, the ct scan. what do you see? what's happening there? - your ventricles aren't supposed to be filled that much with fluid. - what's all this stuff? - a lot of dead brain tissue. - a lot of dead brain tissue. - yeah. - yeah. the scan of ms. schiavo's brain showed that all of the brain itself had become liquified, including parts of the brain that are expressly responsible for cognition, for hearing, for seeing, for responding to things. all of those capacities were gone. i mean, that was not gonna change. it was not gonna grow back. the evidence supported not only the diagnosis, but the removal of the feeding nutrition tube. - did you remember that? we used to laugh at that. you'd take your eye and let it roll in the side. (terri laughs) you remember? - [bobby] you know, you wanna label her in pvs. we didn't care. the way we looked at my sister was she had a disability, she had a severe brain injury. - then florida, you have the right, the legal right to die with dignity. - death is a part of life, dying with dignity. - they say you have to give her a death with dignity, implying that living in a condition with a disability, somehow she no longer possesses dignity. i mean, there's no truth to that. the pvs diagnosis shouldn't mean that we should end her life. - we had several doctors testified that, in fact, was the condition she was in, and in fact, it was irreversible. i felt very comfortable that this was the correct decision. what causes a curve down there? can it be treated? stop typing, and start talking. it could be a medical condition called peyronie's disease, or pd. and it could be treated without surgery. find a specialized urologist who can diagnose pd and build a treatment plan with you. visit makeapdplan.com today. when moderate to severe ulcerative colitis takes you off course. put it in check with rinvoq, a once-daily pill. when i wanted to see results fast, rinvoq delivered rapid symptom relief and helped leave bathroom urgency behind. check. when uc tried to slow me down... i got lasting, steroid-free remission with rinvoq. check. and when uc caused damage rinvoq came through by visibly repairing my colon lining. check. rapid symptom relief... lasting steroid-free remission... ...and the chance to visibly repair the colon lining. check, check, and check. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin cancer; death, heart attack, stroke, and tears in the stomach or intestines occurred. people 50 and older with at least 1 heart disease risk factor have higher risks. don't take if allergic to rinvoq as serious reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. put uc in check and keep it there with rinvoq. ask your gastroenterologist about rinvoq and learn how abbvie can help you save. it's easy to get lost in investment research. introducing j.p. morgan personal advisors. hey david. connect with an advisor to create your personalized plan. let's find the right investments for your goals okay, great. j.p. morgan wealth management. when you have chronic kidney disease... ...there are places you'd like to be. like here. and here. not so much here. farxiga reduces the risk of kidney failure which can lead to dialysis. ♪far-xi-ga♪ farxiga can cause serious side effects, including ketoacidosis that may be fatal, dehydration, urinary tract or genital yeast infections, and low blood sugar. a rare, life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this infection, an allergic reaction, or ketoacidosis. when you have chronic kidney disease, it's time to ask your doctor for farxiga. because there are places you want to be. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. ♪far-xi-ga♪ - [news reporter] doctors in florida have removed the feeding tube from a severely brain damaged woman today, ending a nearly decade-long fight that pitted her husband against her parents. - our legal avenues had been exhausted. so terri's death clock was ticking, and we had to do something, you know, before the alarm went off. - all right. - thanks. thanks. - and someone suggested that randall terry could help us. (gentle music) but i never heard of randall terry. nobody did in our family. we had no idea who he was. - you're gonna get a sound bite from me and then weave it into the story. - i'm gonna get a sound bite, and then if they wanna use it on the today show tomorrow morning, they will. - if they don't use it on the today show, i will set myself on fire. - oh my god. - embracing you.

(crowd cheers and applauds) - legalized child killing's days are numbered. we will win. (gentle piano music) music is a fun passion for me. when i was a young man, i wanted to go to julliard to play the piano, but god had other plans for my life, which i'm happy to have fulfilled. new york times, washington times, front page of the style section of washington post, there is when i had the privilege of meeting john paul ii. i invited him to come get arrested with us. he didn't come, but (laughs) he laughed. (randall laughs) the bible says that satan is the great dragon. my dragon is child killing. i've spent my entire adult life fighting to end the killing of babies. that's the mission. and the pro-life movement is of peace. we focus on babies that are in the womb, but the commandment says, "thou shalt not murder." whether it's active euthanasia or starving someone to death or dehydrating someone to death, murder is murder. - let terri live! let terri live! let terri live! - they are going to starve this woman to death. - let terri live! let terri live! - it is an act of cruelty, and ultimately, it's murder itself. - let terri live! let terri live! - [randall] so please, in the name of truth. - if they wanted to work towards saving terri's life and they're against abortion, i'm not gonna say no. frankly at this point, my family didn't care about that. if he was gonna try and save terri, okay, let's do it. that's how we felt. (camera shutter snapping) - so i told the schindler's, we'll rent an rv, and it'll show to the media. look, we're here. we're not going anywhere. - okay. super. - [news reporter] terri's parents, bob and mary schindler, have set up camp in this rv just across the street from where their daughter is housed. - [randall] we'll have a 24-hour vigil - [group] deliver us from evil. - [randall] and we'll get national television. - the feeding tube was removed yesterday, and doctors say within the next 10 days, the 39-year-old woman will die. - [protesters] let terri live! let terri live! - [randall] i told the family we have to get all this press coverage. - there's still hope. - so we can put political pressure on people who need it. (crowd cheering and applauding) (crowd laughs) - [anita] jeb bush was a popular governor. he had won reelection, he was a republican, and he was ("hail to the chief" playing) from this political family that we had all heard of, of course. (people chattering) - a thousand points of life. (crowd cheering) - the united states and our allies have prevailed. (water splashing) - just ahead on your right. there they are. the presidential gates leading to the former naval base. - but jeb bush, he wanted to just kind of chart his own way, and when you look back at his legacy over his eight years, i mean the schiavo case will always be with him. - let terri live! let terri live! let terri live! let terri live! - i want to take this moment again to publicly beg governor bush. - randall said jeb could save terri's life, but you've gotta get in front of him. you guys have to meet with him personally, humanize yourself, let him talk to mary, let him see the family, 'cause it's gonna be harder for him to say no to your face. i was driving, it was like, okay, let's get there now. (traffic rumbling) (mariachi music playing) - jeb bush was doing some kind of groundbreaking, so i felt like we were hijacking his event (laughs) in order to get in front of him. (mariachi music playing) - there was a mariachi band and all these festivities going on, and then jeb bush walked in, no security or anything. i was surprised that this somehow happened, that this meeting actually happened. that this family is now meeting with the governor of florida. - you know, he comes in and like shakes everybody's hand. and i think he looked at his sorts, because i mean, he's not expecting to meet my family that day. - before we actually met jeb bush, randall said, "here's how this is gonna happen. he's gonna meet us, he'll sit and listen to you intently. when it comes to the end of the conversation, he's gonna slide to the end of his chair. he's gonna slap the top of his knees and get up and say, 'i wish there was more that i could do.'" and that's exactly what happened. exactly. and i just remember looking at randall like, damn. - in the meeting, jeb said, "i'm not a king. i can't just do anything i want." (mariachi music playing) - [reporter] are you looking with the attorney general, or what are you guys looking at now? - i am not aware of any alternative, but i'm not a legal scholar either, so (voice fades) - but i said, if we get legal opinions that say you could intervene on her behalf, as the governor, would you consider doing it? he said, "yes, send them on to me." - legal advisors to the governor are continuing to look into this to see if there is anything that the governor can do. - in 2003, i was a member of the florida senate. when the terri schiavo case really sort of burst into the public scene, we heard rumblings that governor bush was actually pushing a law that would allow him to reinsert her feeding tube. - this is an incredible convergence of timing. legislature's in special session, which it almost never is this time of year. - i think we need to give those parents that opportunity to see if they can save their daughter's life. - [debbie] it was mostly on party lines. - if this body does nothing, a very bad thing will happen. - it's inappropriate for us to be reversing their decision that they carefully deliberated for. my first thought was, i'm not a lawyer, but i am very clear that the governor does not have the ability to override court decisions in any constitutional construction. - typically, it takes months to pass a law, but terri's law was crafted in less than a day. - but this really boiled down to you can't just target the law to affect one person. and that's what they decided to do with terri's law. - [news reporter] it applies only to cases where a patient has no living will, is in a persistent vegetative state, had food and hydration tubes removed, and has a family member challenging the removal. - [protesters] let terri live! let terri live! - [house speaker] all members voted. the clerk will announce the vote. - [clerk] 73 yeas, 24 nays, mr. speaker. - [house speaker] the bill passes. (gavel bangs) - i will sign it into law immediately. the law will give me that authority, and i will issue the stay. - [reporter] you feel at all like you're playing god here and interfering with perhaps his will? - no, i'm not playing god at all. - this evening, an ambulance picked up terri schiavo and took her to a nearby hospital to begin the procedure of hydrating and feeding her once again. (traffic rumbling) (crowd cheering and clapping) (bobby laughs) (people chattering) (gentle music) - looks like we might see the light at the end of the tunnel here. so she came back to the hospice with her feeding tube reinserted. - she's very capable of making a recovery. - you know, i think back and it's the way our family, in particular, my mom and dad, they were just parents that loved their child and wanted to care for her. - it's a miracle, an absolute miracle. (crowd cheering) - [bobby] and just to see their joy when the feeding tube was reinserted. - she looks great. she's tired, but she just looks wonderful. - mm-hmm. - [robert] and we're very happy about it. - yeah, it was, (sniffs) you know, one of the good moments. and yeah, i thought we, you know, i guess i was being naive. i thought we won. i thought it was over. you know, i didn't kind of process that it wasn't, 'cause felos just went into high gear after that. he was not happy. not happy. when migraine strikes you're faced with a choice. ride it out with the tradeoffs of treating? or push through the pain and symptoms? with ubrelvy, there's another option. one dose works fast to eliminate migraine pain treat it anytime, anywhere. without worrying where you are or if it's too late. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. allergic reactions to ubrelvy can happen. most common side effects were nausea and sleepiness. migraine pain relief starts with u. ask about ubrelvy. learn how abbvie could help you save. the power goes out and we still have wifi learn how abbvie to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. learn more today.senatoe (gentle music)xfinity should have the right to override somebody's medical treatment wishes. it was disturbing to see the raw exercise of political power in this case. it wasn't about end-of-life issues anymore. now, the case became a battle between the governor and the court system. - [news reporter] the florida supreme court heard arguments today in one of the nation's longest right-to-die disputes. - the essential issue here is who is entitled to make a decision on a matter so personal and private? it would be a dangerous precedent to have the courts override it retroactively, because then there is no rule of law. then the courts becomes subservient. - definition is gonna be done (voice fades out) - to the executive branch, and that's a country that i don't wanna live in. florida's supreme court struck down as unconstitutional a law passed to keep terri schiavo alive. - it's not clear tonight how soon that feeding tube may now be removed. - you know, we encourage people in tough situations, remember prayer and, you know, belief in prayer. calling out to god for help in times of crisis is a very common american theme. (gentle music) the schindler's case looked sorta over, but they were saying, can you help us save our daughter? as a person of faith, as a christian, the answer's pretty simple, that people like terri matter to god. at this point, we are deeply grateful. and again, the family has tremendous faith. they have said, we are prayerful to god. - once david gibbs got involved in the litigation, the schiavo case took a serious turn. political and religious forces saw an opportunity to promote an agenda that went way past this family tragedy. the gibbs law firm was part of a larger effort by an intricate web of religious organizations. - i think the choice has to go to protecting her life. you gotta err on the side of caution. i think they're gonna be. - who are trying to change the course of american law toward religious dogma. - our goal must be to build this country into a christian nation (crowd cheers and claps) firmly build on the 10 commandments. - they want what they call biblical law as the law of the land. - we wanna make all our decisions in light of the eternity to come. - they are christian nationalists. that's their agenda. theocracy. there's no other way of putting it. that's why i got involved in the schiavo case as an appellate lawyer helping george felos. i respect people's religious values, but i just don't want it forced on me. - everyone understands that when the pope speaks, you now have the official word of the church. - this statement by pope john paul ii says, "withholding food and water is equal to euthanasia." - i couldn't believe it that he even knew about her, okay, and here he comes out with this, you know, this proclamation. that was amazing. he was my favorite pope anyway.

(airplane soaring) but to do that, we needed an act of congress. - it wasn't like congress just decided they were gonna get involved in this situation. i flew to dc to get in front of whoever it was, democrat, republican, congressperson, senator. my sister should at least, at the very least, have a federal review. i was pleading with them to do something to stop this madness from happening.
