Advance directives for healthcare decisions--a Christian perspective
Abstract
For various reasons, many people wish to execute an advance directive for healthcare. Like other important life decisions, choices about healthcare should be consistent with the person's religious faith and values. To help people prepare an advance directive that is both accurate and reflective of Christian teaching and values, we have written the following document. Copies of An Advance Directive for Future Health Care Decisions: A Christian Perspective may be obtained in booklet form from Center for Health Care Ethics, 1402 S. Grand Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63104.
