He let GOD decide without interfering via a feeding tube.

Like anorexics, right?

Your reasoning is clumsy.

No, her reasoning is normal. IMO. This is so different than the Terri Schiavo case, which I only truly learned the details a few months ago thanks to posters here.

The Pope was old and had a whole lot wrong with him. He was dying, regardless of medical technology/interventions. My Dad was dying, a feeding tube or respirator or pik or anything else would have only prolonged his natural death. Same with my mom. A few more days or weeks for what? Not for the person dying but for those who can’t let go?

A comparison of anorexics and the Pope is clumsy reasoning imo. He had a slew of medical problems that maybe a feeding tube would have prolonged his life for a few weeks or months. Maybe he was coherent enough to make the decision. I know both my parents were coherent enough and mentioned many times, when it was their time, then they were ready to join Jesus.
