If I signed no for CPR to be given to my mother, would I be going against the Church’s teachings?
 
Hi,

That is often called a ‘no code’. The Church does allow us to allow loved ones to die naturally without using extraordinary means to keep them alive that would only make them miserable.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
