Schiavo Update II

From today's WaPo:

Attorneys for Robert and Mary Schindler argued that allowing their brain-damaged daughter to die before the federal courts can review her case would violate Congress's will and lead to the "damnation of her soul" because it would conflict with her religious beliefs.

Is there some theological concept I'm unaware of? How does someone else ending her life lead to the "damnation of her soul"? Is this a Catholic teaching that I'm unfamiliar with?
