The pope had approved the procedure, which the Vatican characterized as elective - underscoring that it was not done as an emergency measure.

I have never heard of an elective vent proceedure on someone his age, unless of course the election was between the vent and death.

A lot of people will do some soul searching. Schiavo young, the Pope old, having lived a full Godly life. (Not exactly the same medical condition but it does highlight the moral dilemma.)
