I. Respect for Human Life

From The Catechism of the Catholic Church

2279
Even
if death is thought imminent, the ordinary care owed to a sick person cannot be
legitimately interrupted.
The use of painkillers to alleviate the sufferings of the dying, even at the
risk of shortening their days, can be morally in conformity with human dignity
if death is not willed as either an end or a means, but only foreseen and
tolerated as inevitable
Palliative care is a special form of disinterested charity.
As such it should be encouraged.
