Schiavo feeding tube plea heads to Supreme Court

As Terri Schiavo drew closer to death Saturday, a Florida state judge rejected another attempt by the brain-damaged woman’s parents to reconnect her feeding tube, leaving the couple with little hope they could keep her alive.

Her parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, planned to appeal the ruling to the state Supreme Court later today, family spokesman Gary McCollough said. The high court last week refused to intervene for the Schindlers.
