On "Clinging to Life"

I encourage everyone to read Steve Bainbridge's post "Did JP II 'Cling to Life'?", cross-linked below. He corrects the absurd argument that the Pope clung to physical life in a way that belies his own theology of suffering and the Catholic understanding of death. Of course, we don't know what happened in the final hours, but until that time he displayed a faithful (in the literal sense of "faith-full") equanimity in suffering and the approach of death that we can only pray to emulate. My only question: what's wrong with Jack Miles?
