Options in Schiavo case dwindling

The parents of Terri Schiavo begged a federal appeals court in Atlanta Tuesday to restore a feeding tube to their daughter before she dies.It was the latest step in a wrenching public campaign that has already prompted intervention by Congress and President Bush.Lawyers for Bob and Mary Schindler appealed to a three-judge panel on the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals after a federal judge in Tampa denied their request. A tearful Mary Schindler urged Florida lawmakers to pass a law requiring that Schiavo be fed and given liquids.The appeals court didn't indicate when it might rule, but George Felos, the attorney for Terri's husband, Michael Schiavo, told the Associated Press that he expected a decision before daybreak Wednesday.
