Terri Schiavo was not terminally ill, but she was determined to be in a "[[persistent vegetative state]]".  This conclusion was reached by neurologists hired on the side seeking her death, but disputed by neurologists hired by Terri’s parents.  Her parents were given the right to a comprehensive examination of Terri by order of the Florida 6th Judicial Circuit court.  Two neurologists selected by Michael Schiavo, one radiologist and one neurologist selected by Terri’s parents, and one neurologist selected by the court examined Terri and her medical history thoroughly.  The judge declared that Terri was in a persistent vegetative state with no hope of improvement.[http://abstractappeal.com/schiavo/WolfsonReport.pdf]
