About this episode

The episode explores the Terri Schiavo case, detailing the conflict between her husband and parents over her life support and its transformation into a global media event.

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday!! The Terri Schiavo story is one I remember from when I was a kid. Because it was everywhere for a while. But the details were blurry. So I decided to dig in. Terri was just 26 years old when she collapsed and ended up in a persistent vegetative state. And that was just the beginning of the story. Pretty much over night... her husband and parents went to war over her life support—trying to decide who had the right to decide if she stayed alive, and what Terri would have really wanted. Then the fight went global. Politicians, religious groups, and even the Pope jumped in on the conversation, turning this private tragedy into worldwide headlines. The battle raged in the papers and in courtrooms for 15 years. Until it all came to an end. Also, let me know who you want me to talk about next time. Hope you have a great rest of your week, make good choices and I'll be seeing you very soon. xo Bailey Sarian ________ FOLLOW ME AROUND Tik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v Instagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR Goodreads: https://bit.ly/44P51lp Facebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY Youtube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og…
