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.

The End of Life guide is a must for all Catholics . The purchase price is incredibly modest and it includes a prototype Advanced Medical Directive and an appointment sheet for a Health Care Proxy.

The site is totally faithful to the Magisterial teachings of the Church and is recommended by the Catholic Medical Association as its bioethica
