Pope John Paul II, who, due to throat problems, is being fed through a tube, declared in his "living will" that life-extending treatments are a moral duty for Roman Catholics. He has not even once offered to share his tube with Terri Schiavo. If he could speak, his holiness would probably make excuses like "Well, she lives over 3.000 miles away" or "Her husband wants her to die." Pretty lame excuses, if you ask me. The Pope, who is somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 years old, should adopt a more clear Christian attitude when it comes to sharing the feeding-tube-wealth. I guess the life-extending treatments are only for the more privilidged Roman Catholics, eh Pope? I, for one, see it as a sickening display of selfishness typical of the guidelines laid down in Vatican II.
