** FILE ** Pope John Paul II blesses an unidentified youth during a private audience with a group of children from Poland who are sick with cancer, at the Vatican in this June 4, 2001 file photo. At left in background, Jolanta Kwasniewski, wife Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski, head of the Polish foundation called "Understanding without borders." Bit by bit over his 26-year papacy, John Paul II has built a rich body of reference about the final stages of life. Its pillars include categorical rejection of euthanasia, insistence on treatments that help people bear ailments with dignity and encouragement of research to "enhance and prolong human 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.
