is this a little twisted?

Body of Pope John Paul II's Begins Journey to St. Peter's Basilica for Public Viewing

Personally, I think that he should have been kept on artificial life support for the next 15 years and see how he liked it!

Hadn't seen this from Atrios before i posted the above :

He spent his final hours in his Vatican apartment, surrounded by nine members of his mainly Polish inner circle. Three doctors were present, but no elaborate hospital technology to help prolong his life.
Just before the end, the pope's longtime secretary celebrated Mass and began to anoint the pope's hands with oil, according to one account. John Paul gripped his ecretary's hand, an apparent farewell gesture to a faithful aide who helped the pontiff flfill his wish to die unencumbered by tubes and machines. It was 9:37 p.m. Saturday.

The cause of death was septic shock and irreversible heart failure, according to the eath certificate made public Sunday by the Vatican. John Paul's decision last week ot to return to the Gemelli Polyclinic hospital where he had spent so much time in ecent years mirrored decisions made every day by severely ill patients and their families.

So, it was ok to force Terri Schiavo to stay on artificial life support, but he didn't want to do it himself!
