This is probably going to get me that much closer to hell than I already am, but....

...considering that a lot of the hard-core Catholics are behind the "Save Terri" movement and that the Pope has spoken out in support of her and with the Pope being pretty much kept alive by tubes, wouldn't it be ironic if the Pope winds up in some sort of vegetative state and kept alive that way? What would the Catholic Church do? Would they replace him, kind of like Michael Schialvo got himself a girlfriend and a new family, or will they still have him as the head of the Church and wheel him out every Sunday where they'll throw balloons at him to get him to have some sort of reaction to please the faithful?
