Bit by bit over his 26-year papacy, John Paul II has built a rich body of reference about the final stages of life.

But some gray areas remain. There's room in the pope's view to refuse some forms of aggressive medical intervention for terminally ill patients and avoid painkillers that induce unconsciousness.
