Since Mrs. Schiavo could not safely swallow enough food/water to sustain her, and lacked the cognitive ability required to "[choose] to do so", your question is, at best, hypothetical. But if she had been undoubtedly capable of a) volition; and b) safe oral nutrition and hydration, (that capability being determined by reputable medical personnel),

Isn't that sweet that they were concerned about her wellbeing? By 'reputable', you mean the three for hire death doctors, correct? And while we're at it, we'll just ignore the sworn affidavits from medical personnel who spoon fed her in various nursing homes, too. Happy now?

You mean secretly spoon fed her and secretly gave her aspiration pneumonia. It was in the autopsy. Terri was not able to safely swallow.
