PINELLAS PARK (FLORIDA), MARCH 30. In a rare legal victory for Terri Schiavo's parents, a U.S. Federal appeals court agreed to consider their request for a new hearing on whether to reconnect their severely brain-damaged daughter's feeding tube. The 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta issued a written ruling without comment late on Tuesday granting the emergency motion, but did not indicate when it would consider rehearing the case. Last week, the same court twice ruled against Ms. Schiavo's parents, who are trying to keep their daughter alive.
Time running out
Time was running out for Ms. Schiavo, however. Bob Schindler described his daughter as ``failing'' on Tuesday, her 12th day without nourishment. "You can see the impact of no food and water for 12 days. Her bodily functions are still working. We still have her.'' Doctors have said Ms. Schiavo (41), would probably die within a week or two of the tube being removed. Ms. Schiavo's feeding tube was removed on March 18 on a court order sought by her husband, Michael, who contends she wouldn't want to be kept alive artificially. She suffered catastrophic brain damage in 1990 when her heart stopped for several minutes because of a chemical imbalance apparently brought on by an eating disorder. — AP
