Battle over coma woman to drag on

Husband to appeal order
by Fla. governor requiring
hospital to resume feeding

CLEARWATER, Fla., Oct. 22 — One of the nation’s longest and most bitter right-to-die battles is headed for further legal confrontation, as attorneys for the husband of a comatose Florida woman prepare to appeal Gov. Jeb Bush’s order that his wife’s feeding tube be reconnected. An attorney for the woman’s husband charged Wednesday that Terri Schiavo was exhibiting signs of organ failure when hospital workers began reintroducing fluids into her system after a week without food or water, and said the governor’s order could just make her suffer more before dying.
TWO STATE JUDGES refused to overturn Bush’s order, which led a hospital to begin giving fluids to Schiavo six days after her feeding tube was removed. The second judge instead asked an attorney for Schiavo’s husband, Michael, and the state to submit briefs in preparation for a trial.
Michael Schiavo, who last week had won a court order that the feeding tube be removed at the end of a long legal battle with his wife’s family, planned to fight on, said his attorney, George Felos.
An angry Felos said Wednesday on NBC’s “Today” show that Terri Schiavo was “literally ... abducted from her deathbed.”
