Pope Rules Patients in Permanent Vegetative State May Not be Denied
Artificial Nutrition and Hydration
Response to certain questions raised by US Conference of Catholic
Bishops concerning artificial nutrition and hydration
By John-Henry Westen
VATICAN CITY, September 14, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - In most
hospitals in North America, families of patients in permanent
vegetative state are asked if they wish their family member to have
their artificial feeding tube removed. According to a definitive
ruling by the Vatican made public today, the withdrawal of artificial
nutrition and hydration from such patients is immoral.
The ruling from the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith was made in response to certain questions raised by the United
States Conference of Catholic Bishops concerning artificial nutrition
and hydration. The replies were approved by Pope Benedict XVI during
an audience granted to Cardinal William Joseph Levada, prefect of the
congregation.
"First question: Is the administration of food and water (whether by
natural or artificial means) to a patient in a 'vegetative state'
morally obligatory except when they cannot be assimilated by the
patient's body or cannot be administered to the patient without
causing significant physical discomfort?
"Response: Yes. The administration of food and water even by
artificial means is, in principle, an ordinary and proportionate means
of preserving life. It is therefore obligatory to the extent to which,
and for as long as, it is shown to accomplish its proper finality,
which is the hydration and nourishment of the patient. In this way
suffering and death by starvation and dehydration are prevented.
"Second question: When nutrition and hydration are being supplied by
artificial means to a patient in a 'permanent vegetative state,' may
they be discontinued when competent physicians judge with moral
certainty that the patient will never recover consciousness?
"Response: No. A patient in a 'permanent vegetative state' is a person
with fundamental human dignity and must, therefore, receive ordinary
and proportionate care which includes, in principle, the
administration of water and food even by artificial means."
An English-language note accompanying the responses indicates that:
"When stating that the administration of food and water is morally
obligatory 'in principle,' the Congregation for the Doctrine of the
Faith does not exclude the possibility that, in very remote places or
in situations of extreme poverty, the artificial provision of food and
water may be physically impossible, and then 'ad impossibilia nemo
tenetur.' However, the obligation to offer the minimal treatments that
are available remains in place, as well as that of obtaining, if
possible, the means necessary for an adequate support of life.
"Nor is the possibility excluded that, due to emerging complications,
a patient may be unable to assimilate food and liquids, so that their
provision becomes altogether useless. Finally, the possibility is not
absolutely excluded that, in some rare cases, artificial nourishment
and hydration may be excessively burdensome for the patient or may
cause significant physical discomfort, for example resulting from
complications in the use of the means employed.
"These exceptional cases, however, take nothing away from the general
ethical criterion, according to which the provision of water and food,
even by artificial means, always represents a 'natural means' for
preserving life, and is not a 'therapeutic treatment.' Its use should
therefore be considered 'ordinary and proportionate,' even when the
'vegetative state' is prolonged."

So the Christian god likes to allow people to be vegetables for the rest of

As Christians don't claim to reincarnate or anything this seems a needlessly
cruel thing for a deity to do.

And everything it does say is opposed to murdering them.


So the Christian god likes to allow people to be vegetables for the

Oh well at least I can rest assured that he won't be around if I ever

Puke already has the personal experience of being brain dead.

That state draws out a lot of love of the people around said unresponsive
person.
What is the reason for killing said unresponsive person other than "an atheist
