Résumé

Situations involving brain death or other end-of-life issues pose tremendous challenges for lay Catholics, seminarians, and priests, challenges that are even more confusing in light of recent controversial end-of-life cases. More interaction is needed between Catholic physicians, Catholic youth, and seminarians to help them understand these difficult issues.
