“Ethical Dilemmas in Death and Dying: The Case of Terri Schiavo” Introduction The case of Terri Schiavo presents a complex ethical dilemma surrounding the issues of death and dying. Terri Schiavo suffered “Creating an APA-Style Reference List: A Guide for Proper Citation Formatting”
Case 2
Ethical Problems of Death and Dying
Michael Schiavo said he awoke early on the morning of February 25, 1990, to find his wife collapsed in the hallway of their home.” Terri Schiavo suffered from bulimia nervosa which, among other things, can result in heart failure due to the loss of vital minerals such as potassium. The purging activity of a bulimic robs the body not only of the calories contained in food but also the nutrition which our organs need to function. This appears to be what happened to Terri Schiavo–a loss of potassium caused heart failure which lead to brain damage. She opened her eyes a month after collapsing in 1990 but has never regained consciousness.
In July of 1990, Terri is brought to the home where her husband and parents live; after a few weeks, she is brought back to the rehabilitation center as her family was unable to care for her. In November of 1990, she was sent to California for an experimental procedure, the implanting of a thalamic stimulator into her brain. In 1994, she was transferred to a nursing home which, presumably, is when the rehabilitative treatments stopped. In 2000, she was transferred to a hospice facility.
Michael Schiavo was appointed Terri’s guardian in June, 1990. It was not until May of 1998 (more than 8 years after Terry became unconscious) that Michael petitioned the court to have her feeding tube removed stating that he believed he was carrying out Terri’s wishes. Terri’s parents, Bob and Mary Schindler, and her sister, Suzanne Vitadamo, have vigorously contested the petition. On February 11, 2000, Judge Greer (the Florida trial judge in the case) found Terri Schiavo to be in a “persistent vegetative state” which is the finding necessary to under Florida law to allow for removal of a feeding tube.
From here, the case has been a long and sad tale that has seen Terri’s feeding tube removed by court order three times and reinserted by court order twice. The Florida Legislature and the U.S. Congress both passed special laws designed to intervene in this case. The Governor of Florida, Jeb Bush, attempted to use the Florida law to personally intervene in the case and keep Terri alive but the law was declared unconstitutional. On March 26, 2005, the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit rejected the final appeal in the case to have the feeding tube reinserted.
This case is different than most right to die cases for three reasons: (a) Terri Schiavo left no written record of her wishes should she end up in a persistent vegetative state, (b) she is not terminally ill and only requires artificial means to be fed (i.e., her body is able to carry on all other functions), and (c) there is conflicting evidence regarding her degree of unconsciousness.
Do you believe the Michael Schiavo acted appropriately on behalf of Terry?

“Analyzing the Relationship between Epidemiology and Public Health: Using the PERIE Model to Address a Health Issue”
As a public health analyst (currently reporting to an epidemiologist), you will focus on analyzing the relationship between epidemiology and public health. Your skill in public health is essential to promoting health in your community, regardless of which health care sector your future career takes you to. The PERIE model is a tool you’ll use to analyze each component of a given health issue for successful implementation through action plans and positive change outcomes.
Preparation
Review the PERIE model and process described in Ch. 2, “Evidence-Based Public Health,” of your course textbook, Public Health 101: Improving Community Health (3rd ed.).
“Public health is first and foremost a state responsibility. States may retain their authority, voluntarily request, or accept help from the federal government, or delegate their responsibility and/or authority to locate agencies at the city, county, or other local levels” (Riegelman & Kirkwood, 2019, p. 251).
Using the issue or disease you chose for your Wk 1 Summary – Government Management of Health Issue assignment, create a 12- to 16-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with speaker notes to summarize your findings. In your presentation:
Explain epidemiology and its relationship to public health.
Analyze your selected health issue using the PERIE model.
Problem
Describe the selected issue or disease.
Identify the underlying nature and cause of the selected issue or disease.
Etiology
Analyze the uses and effects of demographic data, surveillance data, and vital statistics in public and community health.
Identify the demographics and effect of the selected issue or disease on the community.
Recommendations
Analyze possible solutions for the selected issue or disease.
Choose the best possible solution with the available information and provide a justification.
Implementation
Describe the coordination between community and state that would need to occur to implement the chosen solution.
Explain the resources (e.g., funding) needed to successfully implement the solution.
Evaluation
Describe the measurable outcomes on the solution’s success or possibility of success (e.g., number of provided screenings).
Recommend additional suggestions for treatment or resolution.
Format your references according to APA guidelines. -
