New definition- Michael Schiavo.(?)

Miami, Florida - The husband of Terri Schiavo was honored by a group that advocates guardianship services for his years-long efforts to get his wife's feeding tube disconnected.

Michael Schiavo was given the Guardian of the Year Award by the Florida State Guardianship Association yesterday.

Terri Schiavo lived in a persistent vegetative state for 15 years before dying in March.

She died after a protracted legal battle between her husband and her parents over her end-of-life wishes.

She died from dehydration after her feeding tube was disconnected.
