Caring for PVS Patients
Two ethicists consider the church's teaching
I n the August 4-11 issue Cardinal Justin F. Rigali and Bishop William E. Lori respond to two recent articles in America regarding the care for patients in a persistent vegetative state. In our January 21 issue, John J. Hardt considered the Congregation Doctrine of the Faith’s recent statement on this subject in light of a conversation he had with his father about end of life care. Read Hardt’s article here.
In an earlier issue Thomas A. Shannon compared the CDF statement on care for PVS patients to an earlier CDF document on euthenasia. Read Shannon’s article here.
