But I was hoping that there would be some documented Catholic teachings that I could present so he's not just thinking I'm going based on my own opinion kind of thing.
Patrick MadridHOST
yeah well he's going down the wrong road which is unfortunate yeah you know that obviously if you're looking for um let's say like pdfs of how you could lay this all out for him or share it with him i would go to the national catholic bioethics center website ncbcenter.org is the website ncbcenter.org stands for national catholic bioethics center and just request from them or download from the website those materials that you could share with him.

We're talking about, we don't know when we will die, but as Catholics, how we die matters and medical choices is one of those big challenges.

We're just discussing why it's important to have a healthcare agent, someone who's assigned to help in making those choices.

And I'll just throw out there, maybe you're wondering, but how do I know what the church teaches how do i know in the unique and specific circumstances each person experiences what is an ordinary treatment what is extraordinary that i'm not required to do or that i should be doing well this is why i love the national catholic bioethics center you can find them online ncbcenter.org and they actually have a 24-hour hotline so let's say it's the middle of the night like recently with my grandmother and you're having to make decisions very quickly unexpectedly and Well, you can actually call that hotline and they will help you in understanding your particular circumstance and how it fits in with the Catholic Church's teaching.
TimmerieHOST
But I will say it's also very intuitive, respecting life now that we're doing something to intentionally end the life of another.
Patrick MadridHOST
And I could easily understand how terrifying that could be.
Patrick MadridHOST
