In a case similar to the Terri Schiavo story, a brain-injured Florida woman has been placed in temporary custody of her husband who wants to remove her feeding tube.
Karen Weber, 57, was hospitalized on a feeding tube after suffering a stroke in December. Weber's mother is fighting to keep her alive and says she doesn't want to die. Her husband, Raymond, sought to have the feeding tube removed earlier this year and claims his wife would not want to live this way.
Another guardianship hearing is scheduled next week.
Terri Schindler Schiavo died in 2005, after 13 days of court-ordered dehydration and starvation. She was a 41-year-old disabled Florida woman at the center of an ongoing legal despute between her estranged husband, Michael, and her parents.
