Description
The Bible does not give us every answer regarding how to
best meet the needs of those who are terminally ill. It does, however, provide
foundational principles regarding decision-making near the end of their lives. Multiple
factors will influence the treatment decisions of patients and those who love
them. A scripturally wise healthcare professional can be a tremendous asset to
patients and their families at this critical time.
