Comments/Details: As Catholics, we are taught to “respect life” in all its phases from cradle to grave. Illness, aging and death of the body are a natural part of the life cycle. Join the Pastor of St. Gregory the Great parish, Father Michael McClane, and parishioner/attorney Joe Small for a brief discussion about making good, life-respecting end of life decisions. Topics will include: “To treat or not to treat” decisions. Who decides? Advanced medical directives and health care proxies. Are medically administered fluid and nutrition always required? Moral and practical considerations will be discussed followed by a Q&A session.
