Title: Maria Korp
Passage: Maria Korp (born Maria Matilde; 14 January 1955 – 5 August 2005) was an Australian woman reported missing for four days and later found, barely alive, in the boot of her car on 13 February 2005.  She spent a short time in a coma before emerging into a state of post coma unresponsiveness.  She became the centre of a controversy in Australia during 2005.  Depending upon their viewpoint, persons characterised the controversy as being about euthanasia or about human rights and protecting people with disabilities.  On 26 July 2005 Victoria's Public Advocate, Julian Gardner, announced that the feeding tube to Maria Korp would cease to be used for providing artificial nutrition and hydration, that palliative care would be implemented and that she was expected to die within 7–14 days.  Korp died on 5 August 2005.
