When Terri Schiavo collapsed in her Florida home in 1990, no one could have predicted that her life — and death — would ignite one of the most divisive legal and ethical battles in modern medicine. For 15 years, her family fought over her right to live, her husband’s right to let her go, and the government’s right to intervene.

In this episode, Andrea and Crystal unpack the medical facts, the political firestorm, and the deeply human grief behind the headlines. From persistent vegetative state controversies to questions of autonomy, faith, and love — this case forced America to confront what it really means to be alive.
