RESPECT LIFE: END OF LIFE DECISIONS

 
During this time of pandemic, many people are making end-of-life decisions and are in need of support. The Respect Life Office, in collaboration with the Public Policy Office, has been working to educate people on the dangers of the “living will” which pressure patients to forgo treatment. Especially while our healthcare system is overwhelmed, we must guard against these documents which can lead to subtle forms of euthanasia. The best way to prepare for end-of-life decisions is to designate a health care proxy. A health care proxy form and other helpful information can be found at these links:
