Feeding must continue for Florida woman

	Tweet

A Florida court ordered continued feeding for a severely brain-damaged woman on Tuesday, shortly after an appeals court said the feeding tube could be removed to let her die.

Circuit Judge George Greer stayed removal of the feeding tube until at least 5 p.m. on Wednesday, after a hearing in the bitterly fought case over the fate of Theresa “Terri” Schiavo, 41. Some doctors said she has been in a persistent vegetative state since suffering a heart attack that severely damaged her brain in 1990.
