Castro in 'grave' condition
 
The newspaper said Castro underwent three surgeries. "In the first operation to remove part of Castro's large intestine, Cuban surgeons decided to connect the colon to the rectum to avoid a colostomy or opening in the abdomen to get rid of stool, the newspaper said, according to Reuters. "But the short-cut failed, releasing feces into the abdomen that caused another peritonitis."

He's struggling big time, he is too old to take that kind of work.

Point #1: You can be doing that now if you want

Point #2: Nothing is going to change in Cuba if he dies

If he dies the USA will probably drop the embargo; this means free trade and legal visits to Cuba. I think this will result in big changes in Cuba.

What changes do you think this will result in?

The economy of Cuba will boom and the standard of living will increase.

You mean because of increased tourism? While I think there will be an increase, I don't know that it will be that huge. Cuba already has a huge tourism industry. Without American visitors, Havana is still the most visited place in the Caribbean.
