Goals of Three Beliefs
What This Advance Health Care Directive Guide Accomplishes
The Goals Of Three Beliefs
This advance health care directive guide has two basic goals: (1) to explain three central Catholic beliefs regarding the ethics of life-sustaining treatment and care and provide answers to frequently asked questions; and (2) to provide guidance on how a person may use these important beliefs to direct a Health Care Agent regarding life-sustaining treatment and care and the medical administration of nutrition and hydration.
Guidance On Catholic Teaching And The Durable Power Of Attorney For Health Care
The contents of this guide and the modified New Hampshire Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care included herein are consistent with all aspects of the New Hampshire statute. The advantage of this guide for New Hampshire Catholics is this: it explains Catholic teaching and provides guidance on the use of life-sustaining treatment and care and the medical administration of nutrition and hydration, while seamlessly fulfilling the requirements of New Hampshire law regarding the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care. It is hoped that New Hampshire Catholics will benefit both from the moral guidance offered in this document and the assistance it provides for completing the Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care.
