Summary:	Pope John Paul II surprised the medical world in 2004 with his statement insisting that patients in a vegetative state should be provided with nutrition and hydration. This collection of essays addresses the Pope's statement, the moral issues surrounding artificial feeding and hydration, the refusal of treatment and the ethics of end-of-life care.
