"Terri Schindler-Schiavo fell into a coma in 1990. After several weeks she awakened with limited abilities to communicate and move. Medically speaking, is she in a locked-in state or a persistent vegitative state? On that question hangs Terri's fate, as it has for more than a decade. Is she alive in a meaningful sense? Her husband, some doctors and the Florida court say no; her family, other doctors, the Florida legislature, and Governor Jeb Bush say yes. This ABC News program gives background on the acrimonious battle of life and death, in which Terri is the pawn and then analyzes the medical, ethical, and legal aspects of the precedent-setting case."--Container.
