LIFE, DEATH, AND CATHOLIC
MEDICAL QUESTIONS
(by Kevin O’Neil, CSsR & Peter Black, STD)
Question: Two relatives of mine died from an
untreated medical condition because they refused
to see a doctor. Is it right to force people to
undergo medical treatment when they seem too
stubborn or lazy to do something on their own?
The question raises the issue of responsibility for
our own life and health and the life and health of
others. It also raises questions of human freedom.
The Catechism refers to physical life and health
as “precious gifts entrusted to us by God”
(#2288). An important word here is “entrusted”
to us. In theological terms we speak of ourselves
as stewards, not masters, of our lives and the
lives of others. God alone is the author and
master of life. We are to use wisely the gifts that
have been given to us.
In the present case, the relatives failed in their
responsibility to care properly for their own
health and life. We do not know why they failed
to do so, and we are not in a position to make a
judgment about their motives.
One cannot force someone else to undergo
medical treatment. Unless a patient is proved to
be incompetent, no medical professional today
would treat someone against his will. Apart from
seeking legal action to declare someone
incompetent and to assume responsibility for that
person’s medical decisions, one is left with a
responsibility to support a relative and to attempt
to establish an environment of trust and safety
where the person may examine as objectively as
possible his present medical condition.
Perhaps the best response to people who are
unwilling and perhaps afraid to seek medical
assistance is to assure them that we will support
them in whatever way we are able and to assure
them of our prayers for their well-being.

Vida, Muerte, Y Preguntas
Católica, Medicas
(por Kevin O'Neil, CSsR & Peter Black, STD)
Pregunta: Dos familiares míos murieron a causa
de una condición médica sin tratamiento porque
se negaron a ver a un médico. ¿Es correcto para
forzar a la gente a someterse a tratamiento
médico cuando parecen demasiado terco o
perezoso para hacer algo por su cuenta?
La pregunta se plantea la cuestión de la
responsabilidad de nuestra propia vida y la salud
y la vida y la salud de los demás. También
plantea cuestiones de la libertad humana.
El Catecismo se refiere a la vida física y la salud
como " bienes preciosos confiados por Dios "
(#2288). Una palabra importante aquí es
"confiada " a nosotros. En términos teológicos
hablamos de nosotros mismos como
administradores, no amos, de nuestras vidas y las
vidas de otros. Sólo Dios es el autor y dueño de
la vida. Debemos usar sabiamente los dones que
se han dado a nosotros.
En el presente caso, los familiares no cumplieron
con su responsabilidad de atender adecuadamente
a su propia salud y la vida. No sabemos por qué
no lo hicieron, y no estamos en condiciones de
hacer un juicio sobre sus motivos.
No se puede obligar a otra persona a someterse a
tratamiento médico. A menos que el paciente se
prueba que es incompetente, no profesional de la
medicina hoy en día sería tratar a alguien contra
su voluntad. Además de la búsqueda de acciones
legales para declarar a alguien incompetente y
asumir la responsabilidad de las decisiones
médicas de esa persona , uno se queda con la
responsabilidad de apoyar a un familiar y para
tratar de establecer un ambiente de confianza y
seguridad en que la persona puede estudiar lo
más objetivamente posible su condición que está
presente .
Tal vez la mejor respuesta a las personas que no
están dispuestas y tal vez miedo de buscar ayuda
médica es asegurarles que vamos a apoyarlos en
todo lo que somos capaces y asegurarles nuestra
oración por su bienestar.
