A short while after being in hospital with a lung infection, Nelson Mandela is now in a "critical" state of health. Quoting from the BBC news: "Doctors are doing everything possible to get his condition to improve."

If it had said doctors are doing everything possible to make him comfortable, I'd feel better about that piece of news. This is going to sound blunt (because it is):

Why don't they just let him die? As comfortably as possible, obviously. He's 94. He's dying. Let him go.

Why do we fight natural and normal death?

Sounds like the final phase of Mandela's life now with the news that he can no longer breathe on his own.

I imagine he is being kept alive until his birthday.
