She's dead, he's dying.

Just been listening to BBC news, with their 'man in the Vatican' making some very pointed comments about the Pope being allowed to die with dignity, not 'aggresively' kept alive with medical technology. Good point, well made.   8^)

Apologies for a somewhat morbid post.

Edit: links refer to Terry Schiavo and Pope John Paul II respectively

Well, yeah. The difference is that he was conscious 'til pretty much the end.
But don't let details and facts get in the way of a perfectly good dig!   8^)
