Judge asked to reinsert woman's feeding tube
The parents of Terri Schiavo asked a judge to reinsert their brain-damaged daughter’s feeding tube today, following an extraordinary political fight that consumed both chambers of Congress and prompted the US president to rush back to the White House.
A lawyer for Mrs Schiavo’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, went to a federal district court in Tampa, Florida, and filed a request for an emergency injunction to keep their daughter fed.
