Dear gilliam,However, when hunger strikes get to the point of endangering someone’s life, and they are not doing it for specific reasons, then we cannot support it. What reasons? They are spelled out in the Catechism:
I would really like to know what you mean when you say “we cannot support it.” As a Catholic, I know and believe that suicide is a mortal sin and that we should not assist anyone in an attempt. You and I have no distance between us on why suicide is wrong.
But it’s that word you use, support, that has me confused. Are you saying that since we cannot support it we must restrain and force feed adults who are capable of deciding? Are you saying that the Catechism says that?
