Terri suffered irreversible brain damage due to self-inflicted malnutrition. She was placed on life support and went through several years of therapy. After 15 years, her husband’s court-appointed doctors determined that she would most likely not recover and her life support should be discontinued. Terri did not have a living will, so the courts did not have a legal document on which to base a decision. Terri’s parents argued that life support and therapy efforts should be continued. The case became a media sensation and resulted in the removal, reinsertion, and then final removal of the feeding tube. An autopsy after her death showed that brain damage was much more severe than they had originally suspected and that recovery would most likely not have occurred. Without a living will, the decision to withdraw life support can be fraught with legal and ethical complications (Schindler v. Schiavo, 2001).
