Based on the pope's stated position that people in vegetative states still have the right to nutrition and health care, a lawyer for Bob and Mary Schindler filed a court motion asking a Clearwater judge to end efforts by Terri Schiavo's husband to end her life.

Somehow, I don't think the Pope's position adds anything to their legal arguments. I doubt they are basing their legal case on what the Pope said.

If this women is known to be a devout Catholic, it may well carry some weight with the court.

The problem with that, however, is that there are plenty of "devout" Catholics who are not lock-step with the Church on individual matters like use of barrier contraception and tubal ligation. This might've been one for her.

I've seen the videos and in my opinion her parents are projecting their wishes upon the harsh reality.
