As Catholics, we respect all life from conception to natural death.  End of life issues, such as the proper treatment of the sick, living wills, advanced healthcare directives, and capital punishment are a source for much discussion.  When dealing with these issues and others, clear and sensitive direction is needed. In this section, you’ll find some documents and resources which highlight these topics:

There are various forms these directives can take including power of attorney for health care, health care proxy, a living will, medical orders and more.
