(Media-Newswire.com) - A free workshop exploring the topic of “advance directives” – living wills, health care proxies, and other types of instructions designed to be used in case serious injury or illness prevents a person from stating his or her wishes regarding health care clearly – is being offered 4 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 20 at the University of Rochester Medical Center as part of the University’s Always Better lecture series.
Timothy Quill, M.D., professor of Medicine, Psychiatry, and Medical Humanities, and director of the Center for Ethics, Humanities, and Palliative Care, will present the workshop in the Medical Center’s Whipple Auditorium ( Room 2-6424 ). Free parking will be available in the Kornberg Medical Research Building parking lot, adjacent to the entrance to the University’s School of Medicine and Dentistry, just off Elmwood Avenue.
For information or to register for the workshop, please call the University’s Office of Special Programs at ( 585 ) 275-2344, or visit www.rochester.edu/osp.
During the workshop, Quill will discuss highly visible cases such as that of Terri Schiavo, who died two years ago, and will offer guidance about the importance and challenge involving in letting one’s wishes be known. Participants will receive an advance care planning workbook to begin the process, and there will be plenty of time for questions.

I am sorry about Sean Hannity, was glad he spent so much time at the vigil, but somehow, even then, there was something not quite right. He didn't completely understand what it was all about. At one point, I thought of approaching him to talk about the essence of what was happening, but realized that not only did he get it wrong, but would carry that misunderstanding nationally on his show.
NEW YORK, March 13, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Last Friday, the President of Human Life International, Fr. Tom Euteneuer used his weekly column to point out the hypocrisy of Catholic celebrity Sean Hannity, one of the stars of Fox News' Hannity and Colmes show.
Hannity had, on a show the week before, made a big deal of apologizing for having inadvertently eaten a couple of bites of a meat sandwich on a Friday during Lent. In his column, Fr. Euteneuer pointed out that the meat incident was not sinful at all, and "If apologies are the order of the day, then the repentance I would like to hear out of Sean Hannity's mouth is for his shameless-even scandalous-promotion of birth control. Yes, I have heard him personally say, 'I have no problem with birth control. It's a good thing.'"
