 DUNEDIN, Fla. (AP) - As a hospice volunteer, George Felos has sat with people as they took their last breaths. As an attorney, he has guided dozens of families through the painful legal process of honoring their loved one's last wishes.
The case of Terri Schiavo, who died Thursday, propelled Felos to the forefront of the international debate over life and death. Felos has represented her husband since 1997 in the dramatic right-to-die legal battle against her parents, who believed she could have been rehabilitated from severe brain damage.
Felos, whose cool courtroom demeanor belies an inner spiritual intensity, became a target of harsh criticism and threats while arguing that Terri Schiavo should be allowed to die.
