Father Overberg examines Church teaching on health care and the dying, helping readers sort out issues such as assisted suicide, euthanasia, extraordinary vs. ordinary means, living wills and more. "End-of-life issues touch the depths of our being, stir the emotions, and raise profound questions," Overberg writes. "They call for careful moral reasoning. In this Update we will look to the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures and to insights from our long Catholic tradition for guidance and wisdom in making moral decisions."
