"The Family Guy" Mocks Terri Schiavo

Near the fifth anniversary of the death of Terri Schiavo, the disabled woman whose husband won a court order to take her life, the Fox program "The Family Guy" featured a satire about her. Terri's family expressed shock and sadness that Fox would allow such insensitive programming during prime time. During the program, a segment titled "Terri Schiavo: The Musical," aired. In it, Terri is mocked and her suffering ridiculed. She was portrayed as someone on a number of mechanical life support systems and referred to as a vegetable. The segment ends with characters calling for pulling the plug. LifeNews
