Choose Life… As we give thanks for the gift of life, consider the words of Pope John Paul II: “causing death can never be considered a form of medical treatment. Rather, it runs completely counter to the health-care profession, which is meant to be an impassioned and unflinching affirmation of life.”  (Gospel of Life)
