Nothing is Free
It costs money to print anything. So why would anyone expect this to be free? If you print out 20 pages on your printer and you include ink and paper, it certainly is not free. I think $2.50 is reasonable. Not to mention all the work that went into preparing this document. BTW it needs to be periodically updated, and that requires new printing and obsoleting any excess stock.

Please "google" the document title Catholic Guide to End-of-Life Decisions, and you will find it available free of charge in PDF form.
I too, need this information but am on a needs-to-be-fixed income, so.....
God Bless!

Sad State of Affairs
It is a sad state of affairs when one must PURCHASE a "guide" in order to obtain useful documents i.e., a Catholic "Advance Medical Directive" and a Catholic "Health Care Proxy" to make certain that one's own death or the death of a loved one is in keeping with the teachings of the church. SHOULDN'T THIS INFORMATION BE FREE?????

A Must-Have
A very well written, complete, and clear illustration.
A "must-have" for all adult Catholics.
Clearly outlines how Catholic patients should think, expect and act in any healthcare situation. Also delineates how faithful Catholic practitioners should treat their patients. Should be at the side of all Catholic healthcare workers!

A Catholic Guide To End-of-life Issues
My mother may be dying and hospice is telling us to give her morphine every four hours. She is 94 and has no illness but won't wake up. She has a feeding tube and we were told not to feed her or provide water. This lack of food and water has been five days so far. I am desperate to get the information that you provide. Can't the Catholic Church make this available free? Even if it weren't free, at least having a download option would suffice. Not having your information available right now when we are trying to make this moral decision, from my tortured perspective, is as much a moral imperative for you to provide , as it is for me follow. And I am wasting precious time writing this. My number: 302-519-9082
