The Sacrament of Anointing, which used to be called Extreme Unction, was reserved, before the Second Vatican Council to a person in extremis (at the point of death), since the Second Vatican Council, the Sacrament has been extended to anyone who is gravely ill, or just in possible danger of death just from old age.
