Was John Paul II Euthanized?

The title is misleading, at least by my definition of "Euthanized", but according to the author it fits the official catholic definition. We'll never know for sure, and in this case, even knowing all the "facts" would still leave a lot up to opinion and judgment calls.

The point of the author appears not to be to criticize what was done by the Pope, but to criticize how the church deals with people in similar situations that do similar things.

"Catholics are enjoined to pursue all means to prolong life."

This statement is incorrect. The author needs to get the facts right.
