Terri's Parents Fear for Her Soul. Why?

So, the parents of Terri Schiavo are in fear for her mortal soul b/c they say if their daughter is allowed to die, due to the feeding tube not being replaced, that Terri will not go to heaven. Hmm... why would that be Mr. and Mrs. Schindler? The only way a Catholic could be in line to have their mortal soul put in peril would be if that said Catholic in fact wanted to be allowed to die b/c the case could be made that it would be assisted suicide. Terri cannot be held accountable for the actions of others that are done to her, but she would be held accountable if she did really tell her husband and others (as has been testified in court) that she would have never wanted to languish on life support but would rather want life support ended so she could die. Is that really what frightens her parents then? That they know in their hearts that their daughter wanted life support ended, which would make her husband correct, but that they, as Catholics, do not want Terri to be a part of assisted suicide? Sounds like it to me... and I don't believe that ending life support is assisted suicide. If we didn't have such medical advancements like life support, we would die naturally due to injuries, disease, accidents, etc. It is extended existence on life support that is un-natural. It is death that is natural, and thereby, what God had planned.
