National Catholic Bioethics Center - A Hidden Gem
Two years ago, I asked a knowledgeable priest about "Living Wills." He suggested that I visit the NCBC , the National Catholic Bioethics Center . The Center has its headquarters in Philadelphia with a group of top rated Catholic Bioethicists at its disposal. After checking a couple of articles, I wandered into the Publications Department and checked over the Product Catalog. To my surprise, I found a marvelous End of Life Guide/Living Will packet for a very modest price. The packet includes an Advanced Care Directive form and an Advanced Medical Directive . The accompanying forms explain in detail the Magisterial teachings of the Church. The form is written so that it is accepted as legal in every state or can be easily modified by an attorney so that it is acceptable in a particular venue. The modifications required for Maryland were minor to say the least. Please browse the NCBC website, and consider becoming a member. The books and pamphlets are marvelous....
