Court to Consider Petition from Schiavo’s Family

HeadlineMar 30, 2005

The family of Terri Schiavo won a surprise court decision late last night. A federal appeals court in Georgia agreed to consider a petition by her parents for a new hearing on whether to reconnect their severely brain-damaged daughter’s feeding tube. It has been nearly two weeks since a state court ordered Schiavo’s feeding tube removed. Meanwhile the Rev. Jesse Jackson joined with Schiavo’s family Tuesday calling for her life to be saved. He described the case as “one of the most profound moral and ethical issues of our time.”
