this doctor then stated, "The public has a misconception that death by dehydration is torturous, but that's not true. Its the most humane way to do this, with the least discomfort.

"to do this..."????

To do exactly what? And how could he possibly know that it's "humane"? Is morphine supposed to to a salve for the conscience?

Thanks for the ping and sharing that story and here's hoping for a good conference. I hear of hospitals in my area offering such symposia; but it's good to know that the Catholic Church will continue to uphold the dignity of the dying. The pressure for moving / helping along the dying process is only going to increase.

Will the sessions be recorded and perhaps made available?

I’m pretty sure the sessions will be taped and made available as DVDs.
