Synopsis

A clear and concise guide for Catholics, their families and friends seeking faith-based choices for medical care. It reduces complex Church doctrine to a plain-language checklist leading to a reasonable choice in every case. In simple steps, you will learn 1) how to decide whether to start, continue or end medical treatment according to the standards of the Catholic faith; 2) how to choose treatment in 11 specific situations, including a vegetative state and imminent and inevitable death; and 3) how to ensure that future medical decisions made for you will be faith-based. This guide has received the Imprimatur of the Catholic Church.
