P.S. Wouldn't you agree that some written materials on "end of life" care, provided by "Catholic" hospitals in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, " are seriously deficient? For example,
properly specify
- Catholic teaching with regard to nutrition and hydration, and
- that health care services cannot honor advance directives (e.g., non-specific directives to forego nutrition and hydration) opposed to Catholic teaching
If our "Catholic" hospitals are not being clear about Catholic medical ethics, how can Catholic laity be expected to be aware of them?
