Bobby Schindler, brother of the brain-damaged Florida woman who died last year when doctors removed her feeding tube after years of legal conflict between her family and her husband, spoke to about 100 College of William and Mary students Wednesday. He urged them to think of how they would care for a spouse or family member who became disabled.
