[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Common belief by non-Catholics, but I’m Catholic and can say it’s not a universal practice by Catholic doctors. Catholic hospitals may have specific policies regarding abortion, but that could happen with a non-Catholic doctor at that same institution. And there are ethical boards that discuss scenarios where certain procedures not normally allowed by Catholic teaching might be accommodated. I had a quality of life procedure at a Catholic hospital although it ended my fertility. No drama involved. [/quote]

Sorry, only extreme positions allowed here.[/quote]

Um, did you read the links posted??  Do you really want an ethics committee deliberating about your medical treatment while you are in agony from life-threatening sepsis??  [/quote]

NP here, and I did read the article.  The ethics committee was contacted by telephone and it was less than an hour from when the doc said she would call to when the patient was informed of the decision and action was taken.  [/quote]
