This year marks the 19th anniversary of Terri Schiavo’s court-ordered death by dehydration, when on March 18th, 2005, Florida Judge George W. Greer ordered the removal of Terri’s feeding tube, sentencing her to an agonizing thirteen-day death by starvation and dehydration.
For the next thirteen days, the Terri Schiavo Life & Hope Network will commemorate the final, horrific days of Terri’s inhumane death. This is not only to remember Terri but to call attention to the countless people who are currently suffering slow, barbaric deaths in hospices, nursing homes, and hospitals in America and around the world.
