The pope has decided to die peacefully at home, without going back to the hospital,

You can be pretty certain that the vatican staff wouldn't let the pope lie around as a vegitable for 15 years. That's why he won't be back at any hospital with an independant staff. They would keep pulling the tubes out to push him in front of windows until he had some serious infections or side effects. They can't last 15 years without some decrees for the faithful.

There are dichotomies in all of what happens in the world.

For example those who fought so hard for Terri to live do not fight for others to live and the death and dying goes on all the time.. Not only in Iraq,Afghanistan but in lethal injections to prisoners who might be innocent.

The Catholic Church was against the war and abortion and yet did not address other areas of the world where hunger, starvation and genocide were being committed without condemnation.. at least that.

When one takes a stand on an issue it would behoove us all to look at our biases and also the causes we support to see whether we are being hypocrites without the awareness that we are...That is what I think some of this is. Unawareness. We look one direction but fail to turn our heads full circle.. Were it to be that we could.

Kevin, the emotions don't help you make your point. The pope has made his wishes clear. There is dispute about what Terri's wishes were or would have been.
