Bishop questions life and death ethics in medicine
UPI reports Episcopal bishop of Southern Ohio Rt. Rev. Roger Blanchard argues doctors should reexamine their duty to prolong life when patients endure unbearable suffering. He cites an 81 year old woman who survived a stroke as evidence that extending life can conflict with relieving pain and that dying with dignity may be warranted in certain cases. He cautions about legal liability and the lure of new treatments, urging careful decisions without pursuing euthanasia.
