The Importance of Quality of Life

Catholic tradition says these are never morally permissible options, even if someone again in his or her own judgment thinks that their quality of life is terrible. Both in the United States and in Canada, other countries where physician assisted suicide and or euthanasia are permissible. But I think you're right that there's this sometimes. Unacknowledged unspoken kind of pressure that you should judge your quality of life to be poor. So what do we do was your question. The document that I mentioned, Maritana's bonus speaks to this question. It talks about the need to cultivate a sense of the sanctity of life. And in that recognizing it in the midst of societal pressures.
