Senator Barack Obama's Take on Terri Schiavo at a Democratic Primary (2008)



Today marks the tragic sixth anniversary of Terri Schiavo's death.  She died on Thursday March 31, 2005.  Teresa Marie Schindler Schiavo was born on December 3, 1963, 11 days following the assassination of John F. Kennedy.  On February 25, 1990, Terri Schiavo collapsed in her St. Petersburg home on full cardiac arrest.  She suffered massive brain damage due to lack of oxygen, and after two and a half months in a coma, her condition was elevated to a vegetative state.  For the next few years doctors attempted physical therapy and other experimental therapy hoping to return Terri to a state of awareness.  In 1998, Schiavo's husband, Michael, petitioned the Sixth Circuit Court of Florida (Pinellas County) to remove her feeding tube pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 765.401(3).  Terri's parents opposed him arguing she was conscious.  Throughout the next seven years, her feeding tube was removed at least twice and then reinserted.  The last time the tube was removed was on March 18, 2005.  It never was reinserted.  Schiavo died 13 days later.  It was horrifying.
