The Health-Care Decision Guide for Catholics
Second Revised Edition
How to make faith-based choices for medical care and life-sustaining treatment
by Patricia D. Stewart
A clear and concise guide for Catholics, their families, and friends seeking faith-based choices for medical care and life-sustaining treatment. It reduces complex Church doctrine to a plain-language checklist, leading to a reasonable choice in each case.
In simple steps you will learn how: 1) to decide whether to start, continue, or end medical treatment for yourself or someone else according to the standards of the Catholic Church; 2) to choose treatment in 11 specific situations, including a vegetative state and imminent and inevitable death; and 3) to ensure that future medical decisions made for you will be faith-based.
The guide bears the imprimatur of Sean P. Cardinal O'Malley, O.F.M., Cap., Archbishop of Boston.
"When the stakes are as high as life or death, a friendly, faithful guide is as much as we could pray for. In that sense The Health-Care Decision Guide for Catholics is literally Heaven-sent."
-Ronald K. Tacelli; S.J., Ph.D., Boston College.
