Withdrawing nutrition and/or hydration, <BR/> inevitably leading to a patients death, <BR/> is morally unacceptable: <BR/> <BR/>From:<BR/>PONTIFICAL ACADEMY FOR LIFE<BR/>WORLD FEDERATION OF CATHOLIC MEDICAL ASSOCIATIONS<BR/>(ROME, 10-17 March 2004)<BR/><BR/>Joint Statement on the Vegetative State<BR/> <BR/> <BR/>10) ...<BR/>The possible decision of withdrawing nutrition and hydration, necessarily administered to (Vegatative State) VS patients in an assisted way, is followed inevitably by the patients' death as a direct consequence. Therefore, it has to be considered a genuine act of euthanasia by omission, which is morally unacceptable <BR/> http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_academies/acdlife/documents/rc_pont-acd_life_doc_20040320_joint-statement-veget-state_en.html<BR/><BR/><BR/>2.) God gives us choices in life and death matters,<BR/> and <BR/> God tells us the right choice is life:<BR/> <BR/>Deuteronomy 30:19<BR/>"This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that <BR/> I have set before you life and death, <BR/> blessings and curses. <BR/> Now choose life, <BR/> so that you and your children may live."<BR/>http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=5&chapter=30&verse=19&version=31&context=verseUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423905047672306260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9216787076261944467.post-30253803966628634112008-06-09T22:34:00.000-04:002008-06-09T22:34:00.000-04:00Thank heavens there are still some moral and outsp...Thank heavens there are still some moral and outspoken physicians out there.
