Durable power of attorney for health care

What is the church's position on living wills, as far as medical powers and especially on DNR, do not resuscitate? Is it murder to make a decision to remove medical devices? Thank you.

I can answer your questions best by re-directing you to the website of Christian Life Resources, an agency within WELS. That organization provides very helpful information on the questions you asked and other life issues.

This first link will take you to the portion of their website where you will find information on end of life issues and medical directives.

This second link will take you to the portion of their web site where you can access a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care – Christian Version document.

God’s blessings!
