WASHINGTON - The parents of Terri Schiavo pressed on to save their severely brain-damaged daughter Thursday, despite defeat in two 11th-hour appeals on Thursday.

Hours after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to order the reinsertion of a feeding tube for Schiavo, a state judge declined Thursday to hear Gov. Jeb Bush’s arguments to take custody of the woman, leaving her parents with only the slimmest hopes in their fight to keep her alive.
Against these odds, a lawyer for Bob and Mary Schindler asked Federal Judge James Whittemore in Tampa for a temporary injunction, and a hearing was set for Thursday evening at 6 p.m. ET. Earlier this week, Whittemore denied a request to order that the food and water tubes be reinserted.
Bush’s request that Schiavo's legal custodian be changed from her husband cited new allegations of neglect and challenged Schiavo’s diagnosis as being in a persistent vegetative state, but Pinellas Circuit Judge George Greer wasn’t persuaded. Schiavo’s feeding tube was removed last Friday on Greer’s order, as her husband wanted.
As of Thursday afternoon, Schiavo, 41, has been without food or water for six full days. Doctors have said she likely would die within a week or two of the tube being pulled.
"The requested intervention ... appears to be brought for the purpose of circumventing the court's final judgment and order setting the removal date in violation of the separation of powers doctrine," Greer ruled Thursday.
Bush said he was expecting Greer to rule against the state and he planned to appeal. He added that he won’t violate Greer’s order by sending state officers to take custody of Schiavo under a law that allows the Department of Children & Families to act in emergency situations of adult abuse. |
