I am not that familiar with the ins and outs of Catholicism, but when I first heard it read on TV, it sounded so -- unseemly to put it in there.
And I was like, why isn't he asking for a de novo?
Allow me to make a clarification: As far as I know, refusing medical treatment is not considered suicide, and we know that the Schiavo's position is that she didn't ask to be starved, so saying her eternal soul is in danger is just not logical if you're saying that the reason she'll die is because someone is murdering her. If the Schindlers are right about Terri's wishes, she is no more in danger of Hell than the Catholic martyr Maximillian Kolbe, who was starved to death by the Nazis.
