The biggest question, wjether the reports of his imanent demise is true, is how the revolution can survive him?

Castro has terminal cancer: report

Time magazine reports ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro is believed to have terminal cancer and is unlikely to return to power.

It reports many US officials are now convinced Mr Castro has terminal cancer and will never retake the reins of the Americas' only communist-ruled country.

The rumours have emerged despite remarks by Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque on Wednesday that Mr Castro "continues to recover [and] we will have him back leading the revolution".

The 80-year-old Cuban leader handed over the presidency for the first time in almost five decades to his brother Raul Castro, 75, who has long been Cuba's defence chief, after undergoing intestinal surgery in July.

One wonders if this is another facet of consent being manufactured (to borrow from Chomsky)... This claim isn't backed up by any reliable source but it would certainly be in the interests of the U.S. to have it believed, in my humble opinion.

Could very well be, they've tried it before, but the guy Is eighty so the clock is still ticking on the revolution unless the next generation start thinking about what's next.

If Cuban's desired change, then there would have been blood in the streets long ago, and Fidel would be in another country by now.

Viva la revolucion!
