It seems they can't receive it unless they have use of their  faculties.

Absolutely incorrect.  You really have to stop posting stuff out of context.

That passage you cite is a quotation from the Greek schismatic practice and not the pope’s teaching.  He’s going through all their practices and critiquing what must be changed in order for them to re-enter Communion with the Holy See.  These Greeks actually had a more Novus Ordite anointing of the sick perspective on it, which the pope criticized.

[color=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)]We shall not speak in this letter of the institution of this sacrament by Christ or of its effect. Nor shall We deal with the rules to be observed in administering it, namely that it should be conferred not on those who are in good health but only on the faithful who are seriously ill while they are still fully conscious[/color]

Breathing stops before cardiac function ceases. The electrical activity of the heart can go on for a while after breathing stops

I wish to correct myself here as I recently remembered this post and realized someone reading what I posted could be scandalized. Benedict XIV seems to be speaking of what *should* be done, not what *must* be done for a sacrament to be validly conferred. Someone without use of faculties can still benefit from Extreme Unction.  I would like to request that Matthew delete my above posts lest people are scandalized and refuse to call a priest for someone dying because they don't have use of their faculties.
