Apparently Il Papa has requested that he not be sent back to hospital, so I guess you won't get to follow up on the whole business of life preservation as you'd posted about some time ago.

Wait a minute. So you're telling me that patients DO have the right to die when they choose to? Or is this Special Pope Rules?

Monetary implication (Warning: high nerd content)

Now that he has died, the Vatican can issue an extra €300,000 in coins this year. (It was originally set at €201,000 extra in the year of a papal death -- well, technically, in a year the Holy See became vacant -- but this was increased in October 2003.)
