Life Issues, Medical Choices
Questions and Answers for Catholics
Janet E. Smith and Christopher Kaczor
Until my own mother's final illness, I thought I knew what the Church taught about life issues. Not until I had to face decisions on feeding tubes and nursing homes did I realize how much I did not know. Life Issues, Medical Choices by Janet Smith and Christopher Kaczor tackles the kind of nuts and bolts questions we will all face.
From conception to natural death, we are asked by John Paul II to develop "a civilization of love." In a thoughtul and very understandable question and answer format, Smith and Kaczor deal with complex issues both on a practical level and by placing them in the context of the Church's moral authority. In our rapidly changing technological environment, this book offers clarity and hope.
