The Church has always proclaimed the inherent value and dignity of life at every stage and condition. And for over 2,000 years, physicians (whether non-believers or people of faith) have pledged to neither help nor encourage a patient to take his own life. But today, rising healthcare costs and a growing cultural blindness to the sanctity of life are driving the promotion of assisted suicide and euthanasia.
