Terri Schiavo Case Study has proven to be a serious matter for the public. The outcome and the misunderstandings surrounding his situation offer important lessons in medicine, law and ethics. Terri Schiavo had a cardiac arrest, triggered by extreme hypokalemia caused by an eating disorder. She suffered brain damage from the server due to cardiac arrest for five minutes. His condition was the subject of much debate in the media. Euthanasia and guardianship of one's state of life. Terri Schiavo collapsed on February 25, 1990 in her Florida home from an "iced tea diet" linked to her bulimia that was the result of potassium intake. deficiency. Due to her heart stopping for five minutes, Terri is left with brain damage. This brain damage was permanent and put Terri in a vegetative state for the last fifteen years of her life. Doctors said there was no chance she would ever return to normal. It wouldn't be good to keep her on life support. This would bring a lot of change to his life and the lives of the people in his life. Terri's husband thought it would be best if she removed the feeding tube. He didn't believe his wife would want to live the rest of her life with a feeding tube that would keep her alive. Terri's family didn't think it was the best thing for her. Michael Schiavo felt his wishes should have been honored. He wanted the feeding tube removed, which would lead to Terri's death from malnutrition and dehydration. Her parents didn't want this and wanted to keep their daughter alive no matter what. Bob and Mary Schindler took the case to the Florida courts several times, but each time they ruled that it was Michael Schiavo's decision. Terri's parents did not accept the verdict and continued to fight to keep their daughter alive. No... middle of paper... did what he thought was best for her and what she wanted. We have the right to live, why don't we have the right to die when we have nothing left to live. It's really not up to the courts or the government to determine what is good for a human life. It's crazy how they can shoot an animal because it doesn't have a home or because it attacks a human being. Do we give animals a choice in their lives? No, we don't just do what we think is best for that animal. Many people don't realize many things. They always say if it were me, I wouldn't want this for myself. In all respects, no one really knows what they would want if they were in this position. As for me, I would rather die than have my family and loved ones see me like this. This is why it's best to have a living will with a breakdown of everything you want to happen for each possible way an accident could happen..
