JERUSALEM - Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was taken Friday to an intensive care unit after his overall condition and heart function deteriorated, a spokesman for the hospital said.

Sharon, who has been in a coma since he suffered a major stroke in January, contracted a new infection that affected his heart, said David Weinberg, a spokesman for the Sheba Medical Center outside Tel Aviv.

"At this point, his condition is stable," Weinberg said.

Experts have speculated that because of the severity of his stroke, Sharon, Israel's prime minister from 2001 to 2006, is unlikely to recover.

Why don't they just let him go? I seriously doubt he would want to live like this.

3. Compounding medical mistakes, one after another

This is a travesty.... They may as well just pickle the poor guy at this point and put him on permanent display. :sarcasm:

I didn't like the man, but I feel for his family. This is so very wrong. Let him go.

9. With a track record like his, I wouldn't want to die either

If there is a hell, he gets a spot on the heater grate for sure.

10. Let the poor man go.

At this point, it would be more humane to just pull the plug. I agree, this is worse than death, especially for his family. I'm not a fan of his either, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

11. I agree

I'm not a fan either (to put it mildly); but the poor fellow is getting into Terri Schiavo territory. Especially having been such a powerful person, I'm sure that the last thing he'd want is to have to drag on in such a state.
