It must be horribly intrusive to have such a fuss made when you just want to quietly fade away.

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?
