SERIOUS question about the POPE

If he slips into a coma or extended unconsciousness, will they keep him on life support or pull the plug?

In light of recent events in Florida, this comes to mind.

I'd seriously like to know, please keep all the jokes and wise cracks to yourself.

I don’t think the answer to that question will ever be truly revealed, to political, but I am confident that his aids are aware of his personal wishes and will follow them to the letter.

He’s undoubtedly set the benchmark for Pope though and my prayers are with him.

He does have a living will but the details aren't public. He is ok with feeding tubes.

I'm guessing the Pope has a living will - the Roman Catholic Church is a little better prepared for situations like this than a young couple in Florida. The Pope is in his 80s and has had other health problems (he has advanced Parkinson's disease).

If you've watched the news at all, they keep saying he is in his apartment and decided not to go to the hospital when his condition worsened a couple of days ago. So I'm going to say, no he is not going to go on life support.

Yup, no life support for him... I'm curious about the feeding tube, though... I wonder if they would even start him on one or not...
