Schiavo's Parents Running Out of Options
Wednesday, March 23, 2005

WASHINGTON —
The parents of Terri Schiavo (search) lost another battle Wednesday as the Florida state Senate rejected a bill Wednesday that would have kept their severely brain-damaged daughter alive.
The measure would have prohibited patients like Schiavo from being denied food and water if they didn't express their wishes in writing. The 21-18 vote came five days after her feeding tube was removed under court order. Doctors have said she could survive one to two weeks without the tube, which was pulled Friday.
"We're exhausting all executive options and we continue to work with the Florida Legislature to save Terri's life," Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said during a press conference before the bill was voted on.
Schiavo's parents, Mary and Bob Schindler, on Wednesday had asked a full federal appeals court in Atlanta to review a previous decision to not reinstate their daughter's feeding tube.
The Schindlers filed a petition with for an "expedited hearing" by the entire 11th Circuit court to decide whether it agrees with a previous decision made by a three-judge panel not to reinstate the tube.
A lawyer for husband Michael Schiavo (search) said he was "very pleased" by the initial appeals court ruling. But he worried that, as her parents ran out of options, either Gov. Jeb Bush or lawmakers might try again to take Terri Schiavo into their custody and circumvent years of court rulings that support the husband's position. He has argued that his wife has no hope of recovery and would want to die.
