Special Program on Terri Schiavo

In this program various aspects involved in Terri Schiavo's battle for life and death has been discussed. Focus has been given on the legal,ethical, religious and political points. After days of often noisy demonstrations, supporters of Terri Schiavo, the 41-one-year-old brain-damaged Florida woman, reacted to her death early Thursday with silence. Ms. Schiavo was at the center of a legal and political controversy in the United States and her death came nearly 14 days after she was disconnected from a feeding tube that had been keeping her alive for years. Supporters of Terri Schiavo's parents, who had fought for years to keep their daughter alive, began singing hymns as word came that she had died early Thursday. Over the past several weeks, hundreds gathered in front of the hospice in Pinellas Park, Florida where Terri Schiavo lay bedridden. Most said they backed her parents' efforts to re-attach Terri Schiavo's feeding tube.
