I. Respect for Human Life

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2278
Discontinuing
medical procedures that are burdensome, dangerous, extraordinary, or
disproportionate to the expected outcome can be legitimate; it is the refusal
of “over-zealous” treatment.
Here one does not will to cause death; one’s inability to impede it is merely
accepted.
The decisions should be made by the patient if he is competent and able or, if
not, by those legally entitled to act for the patient, whose reasonable will
and legitimate interests must always be respected.
