Terri Schiavo suffered heart failure in 1990 at the age of 26, lapsing into a persistent vegetative state. Her husband said she told him she would not want to live like that. Her parents felt otherwise. What followed was the nation's most bitter right-to-die dispute, invoking the courts, the president and even the pope.
