HUMAN LIFE AND DIGNITY:
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has a website that is an extensive resource of Church documents, teaching videos, and ways to live out our beliefs. The home page is found at www.usccb.org and Human Life and Dignity resources are found at www.usccb.org/issues-and -action/human-life-and-dignity/  On this page there is a menu on the left side of the various areas and issues, including physician-assisted suicide. As Catholics we have a sacred duty to study and to prayerfully reflect on the Church’s teachings on these matters, and to be open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. As you read the teachings, keep in mind our fundamental truths: God is the creator of all life, and we are appointed by God to care for one another and for all creation; Jesus teaches us by word and example that we are here to serve, not to be served, so we move away from   narcissistic consumerism; God is always merciful, and forgives all our sins against life, healing us and restoring us as nurturers of life.
