We were discussing your statement:
"Sustenance and hydration" are classified as medical treatments, according to Florida law.
Is it the case that no one can rightfully think that is an immoral law, and disobey it, morally speaking?
And do you agree or disagree with the Pope on the matter of nutrition and hydration being "ordinary means" of care, under normal circumstances?
Sure. But that "one" has to be able to take some action, which is why I mentioned Jeb Bush. You or I have no standing in this case.
And do you agree or disagree with the Pope on the matter of nutrition and hydration being "ordinary means" of care, under normal circumstances?
Yes, but you have to remember that JPII's pronouncement last year was the first attemtped resolution of this issue in 400 years. His has not been the constant teaching of the Church. We were taught in moral theology in the seminary that the withholding of sustenance for someone in a PVS was a possibility, depending on the prognosis and commensurate burden.
