I didn't quite understand the Death with Dignity Act until I started working in a skilled nursing facility. I met so many amazing people there, who told me how much pain they were in but their family members who were their Power of attorney just along with the Physician suggested and initiated aggressive treatment that seemed to make the patient's condition worse and bring other side effects. I enjoyed this article, and keep up the good work. Very informative article. I didn’t quite understand the Death with Dignity Act until I started working in a skilled nursing facility.

How can Catholic hospitals that clearly refuse to obey the resulting law continue to be regarded as tax-exempt entities? How can contributions to any Catholic organization or agency continue to be a tax deductible contribution when some portion of the contributed funds are used in defiance of existing law?
