An interesting addition to this thread is a recent decision by Catholic hospitals to continue to allow feeding tubes to be removed from some patients. This is allowed by the Bishops but has been denounced by the Vatican.
The hospitals are going to ignore the Vatican ruling until the issue is forced on them.
There are numerous articles, but
this is the one that did not require registration.
Once again, real world issues conflict with the religious ideal.
