The article on religious folk seeking to prolong their life honestly doesn't surprise me that much. A point the article didn't seem to cover is the potential belief that, if they can just last a little bit longer on the machines, they'll be the recipient of a miracle and be restored to health. When you live in a universe where you believe miracles can happen, your mind is inoculated against accepting anything as ultimately inevitable.
