The case involving Theresa Marie Schindler's medical condition and guardianship has been infamous in recent years. The case involved many lawsuits and disputes over what was the ethical and legal action to take. This document seeks to shed more light on some key events and decisions, as well as provide an opinion on how the case was handled. This mainly concerns the ethical and legal issues involved. Theresa was born to Mary and Robert Schindler in December 1963. At that time her parents resided in Huntington Valley in Philadelphia. She was the eldest daughter of the family. She was taken to Catholic schools, due to her parents' religious affiliation. She later joined Bucks County Community College. It was here that she met her husband, Michael Schiavo. They got married in their early twenties and their marriage was one of the notable ones to this day. Theresa was concerned about her body weight and developed a program to work on it. He was remarkably successful in losing weight from his body. February 25, 1990 was, in a certain sense, the darkest day of his life. She collapsed in the hallway of their apartment building; where she was found unconscious by her husband (Valdes, 2014). Schindler called paramedics who reported that she was comatose upon arrival. Theresa was taken by ambulance to Human Northside Hospital in St. Petersburg. He remained there, in a coma, for three months, after which he woke up (Valdes, 2014). Unfortunately, he still wasn't responding; he only glared at those people he knew. Theresa's parents cared for her until it became unbearable for them and they moved her to a nursing home (Valdes, 2014). The cause of Theresa's condition could be ascertained. Neuro...... half of the document ......y I recommend allowing him to make changes to the case contrary to what the courts decided. He was empowered by the “Terri Law,” later declared unconstitutional. Political interventions manifested different ideologies through the case. Ultimately, the Schindlers lost the case to Michael who was allowed to remove the PEG tube from his wife. He later died but his wish came true. Theresa's parents were, in some way, justified in denouncing the act that would kill their daughter. However, his wish was final; and lay in Michael's arms. The rule of law was finally maintained despite political influence and interference (Valdes, 2014). The government and politicians should refrain from violating individual rights under the Constitution. Works Cited Valdes, B. (2014). The controversial case of Ethics vs Law Theresa Marie Schiavo.
