|Student’s Name: |JOHN DOE |

|Enrichment Activity: |Case Study: Terri Schiavo |

|Description: |There are many serious issues for families to consider when faced with the prospect of removing |

| |life support for a loved one. Using the Terri Schiavo case as a point of reference, I will write|

| |an essay on the ethical issues of removing life support and explain what I would do if presented |

| |with the options that Schiavo’s family had to face. |

|Objective: |My objective is to identify the key ethical considerations that families face when considering |

| |the removal of life support for a loved one. I also want to determine 3-5 criteria that families|

| |can use to evaluate the available options under these circumstances. Finally, I want to draw |

| |some conclusions about the choices I would make if faced with the decision of having to remove |

| |life support for a member of my family. |

|Plan: |To complete this activity I will: |

| |Research the Terry Schiavo case to understand the facts of her medical situation and the specific|

| |decisions her family members faced about her treatment. |

| |Research ethical guidelines related to the removal of life support. |

| |Interview an ER doctor from my local hospital. |

| |Interview the hospital chaplain. |

| |Schedule my interviews this week and conduct my interviews next week. |

|Deliverable: |a 3 - 5 page essay on the ethical issues of removing life support. |

| |a 1 page opinion piece about what I would do if presented with the options that Schiavo’s family |
