Abstract
End-of-life issues touch the depths of our being, stir the emotions, and raise profound questions. They call for careful moral reasoning. This article looks to Scripture and Tradition for guidance and wisdom in making these moral decisions. It also considers advance directives (a living will or healthcare power of attorney).
Recommended Citation
