Today’s topics: Catholic bioethics in the news
Summary of today’s show: MC Sullivan returned for her regular visit to discuss with Scot Landry and Fr. Matt Williams bioethical and medical issues in the news from a Catholic perspective, including recent cases of pregnant women declared brain dead being kept on medical support equipment; palliative sedation to relieve extreme suffering by making patients unconscious and unaware; the Catholic ethical perspective on organ donation; and the issue of pediatric assent.
