Long before Mrs. Schiavo suffered her heart attack in February 1990, the Supreme Court of Florida had already determined that the express right of privacy in article I, section 23, of the Florida Constitution gave both competent and incompetent persons the right to forego life-prolonging procedures
Terri Schiavo never had a heart attack. He K levels were normal. Her coronary arteries likewise. And the state has no power to order food and water removed from any patient absent their informed consent. Period.

It's sickly ironic that, if true as circumstantial evidence seems to suggest, the very reason Terri cannot stand up and speak for herself are rooted in the actions of the very creep trying to kill her now: because of a previously attempted murder.
