Parents keep up fight despite judge’s refusal

AS Terri Schiavo’s health waned, a judge yesterday refused to order the reinsertion of her feeding tube, thwarting another legal move from the brain-damaged woman’s parents.

The parents quickly appealed the ruling.

For a second time, Judge James Whittemore ruled against the parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, who had asked him to grant their emergency request to resume their daughter's nourishment while he considers a lawsuit they filed.
