resigned?

Being that the last pope resigned in 1294 the rest it would be proper to assume, died in office is it a shock to anyone that Pope Benedict XVI is resigning? reportedly Citing advanced years and infirmity.

No one resigned since 1294 why should Pope Benedict? If at one point he feels he can't continue should he just stay and die in office what purpose would that serve?

At the end of the day in all that Pope Benedict XVI is, he is also human. One with the choice to resign a position if he feels he can no longer carry it out.
