- Then, choose to answer the questions from one of the five categories below.
1. LIFE AND DEATH: What state is Terri Schiavo in? Is she dead or alive? What is the difference between life and death?
2. PERSONHOOD: Is Terri Schiavo still a person? Is she the same person?
3. RIGHT TO LIFE: Does Terri Schiavo have the right to be kept alive? Does every person have a “right to life”?
4. QUALITY OF LIFE: What is in Terri Schiavo’s best interest? Is her life still worth living? What makes life meaningful?
5. AUTONOMY: Who should decide for Terri Schiavo? When and why should other people decide for me?
