Pope reaffirms life amid heated right-to-die case (AP)

A view of an ambulance at the entrance of the 'La Quiete' (The Stillness) clinic entrance, in Udine, northern Italy, Thursday Feb. 5, 2009. Eluana Englaro, a woman at the center of a right-to-die debate in Italy was transferred to this clinic Tuesday, where she is to be allowed to die after 17 years in a vegetative state. The Catholic church and pro-life activists have mounted a campaign to keep Eluana alive, denouncing what they say would be her execution. Others contend that Englaro's father is trying to give her the dignified death she had sought. The Englaro case has drawn comparisons in Italy with that of Terry Schiavo, the American woman who was at the center of a right-to-die debate until her death in 2005. Schiavo's husband, who wanted her feeding tube removed against her parents' wishes, prevailed in a polarizing battle in the United States that reached Congress, then-President George W. Bush and the Supreme Court. (AP Photo/Franco Debernardi)AP - Pope Benedict XVI said Saturday that all human life must be protected, especially that of the weak and suffering, making a last-minute intervention in a right-to-die case that has convulsed Italy.
