A Papal Document yesterday announces that nutrition and hydration cannot be removed from a patient to starve them to death simply because they are in a vegetative state or have lost consciousness. In the rare case that providing nutrition and hydration actually do harm to the patient they might still be removed. http://jimmyakin.typepad.com/defensor_fidei/2007/09/new-cdf-documen.html
Support for the Vatican's decision on this matter has been voiced from some in the Muslim community as detailed here: http://www.indcatholicnews.com/muslimvatican969.html
