That depends upon what you mean by prolonging life. If it means using normal medical means to keep a person alive - eg: nutrition, water, medications, oxygen, etc., the Church not only approves it but demands it. If you mean keeping a body alive by machines and purely artificial and extraordinary means, while the Church does not outright forbid it, they do not encourage it since it does not truly prolong life as we know it and may interfere with a natural death. On the other hand, the Church forbids assisted suicide. God, alone, determines when a life should end.
