FATHER JARETT’S CATHOLIC Q & A
According to the Catholic Church, is it giving in to the “culture of death” to quit medical treatments for my sick and elderly mother (who also desires to stop treatment) even though death may not be imminent? The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “Discontinuing medical procedures that are burdensome, dangerous, extraordinary, or disproportionate to the expected outcome can be legitimate; it is the refusal of ‘over-zealous’ treatment. Here one does not will to cause death; one’s inability to impede it is merely accepted. The decisions should be made by the patient if he/she is competent and able or, if not, by those legally entitled to act for the patient, whose reasonable will and legitimate interests must always be respected. (CCC #2278)
First, I must state that I do not know all the details of this case. However, having gathered some outside information from the individual asking the question, I would assess that it would seem the treatment for the mother in this case has become more burden than good with regard to her physical condition. Therefore, according to the Catechism it would be morally acceptable to decide to stop medical treatments for this individual trusting that the motivation is to allow nature to take its course rather than willfully causing the death of the individual. Death may be the inevitable outcome, but should never be the motivating factor for making important end of life decisions.
Another issue that affects this type of case is the fact that some doctors now regard basic nutrition and hydration for the patient as “treatment.” Thus, when these doctors request to stop medical treatment, they also stop administering nutrition and hydration to the patient. According to the Church, basic nutrition and hydration should not be considered treatment, but should be considered ordinary care. Regarding ordinary care the Catechism states, “Even if death is thought imminent, the ordinary care owed to a sick person cannot be legitimately interrupted.” (CCC #2279) There are cases however, where denying a person nutrition and hydration would be morally acceptable. Such a case might be when the body of a patient is shutting down and unable to assimilate these nutrients and the result is further harm to the patient.
Therefore, in clarification of this particular question and case it would be assumed that ordinary care (including nutrition and hydration) would still be a part of the mother’s everyday care while choosing to forego further medical treatment. Furthermore, this decision would not be considered giving in to the “Culture of death,” but would be seen as preserving the dignity of human life to its natural end.

Kansans for Life: I’m getting a little baby fat under my
skin. My heart is pumping as much as 6 gallons a day at a
rate about double my mom’s. I can swim and kick and do
somersaults! I’m the same size as my placenta now. I’m not
a lightweight anymore – I weigh almost six ounces and I
am about three inches long. Chris will keep growing until
about 23 years of age. The mother might be able to hear
tiny thumps of Chris’ heartbeat with an external monitor
now. “They, no less than I, were created in the womb by
the one same God who shaped us all within our mothers.”

A preacher visits an elderly woman from his congregation. As he sits on the couch he notices a large bowl of peanuts on the coffee table. "Mind if I have a few?" he asks. "No, not at all!" the woman replied. They chat for an hour and as the preacher stands to leave, he realizes that instead of eating just a few peanuts, he emptied most of the bowl. "I'm terribly sorry for eating all your peanuts, I really just meant to eat a few." "Oh, that's all right," the woman says. "Ever since I lost my teeth all I can do is suck the chocolate off them."
