Advancements in modern technology have given rise to many options to treat illnesses that could otherwise be deadly. Along with these options for treatment, there can be ethical dilemmas. In this conversation, Fr. John Girotti and Lucas Holt look at the difference between ordinary and extraordinary care, how to respond to the growing popularity of physician assisted suicide, the Church's teaching on redemptive suffering, how to talk to a loved one who is suffering, and the great gift of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick.
