35. Tycoon offers $1m in US coma case
BBC
A US tycoon has offered $1m (£750,000) to the husband of a badly brain-damaged woman to stop him from removing her feeding-tube next week.

Robert Herring, a supporter of stem cell research, said he would pay Michael Schiavo if he gave up his right to decide his wife's medical treatment.

Terri Schiavo has been incapacitated since she collapsed at home in 1990.

Her parents, who want to keep her alive, have been locked in a bitter legal dispute with her husband.
