Yes, English is my native language, but I'm good enough in French that I've read a few novels and philosophy in it. I was disappointed to learn my French wasn't very useful for doing average stuff in Paris, however.

This notion of a dignified death baffles me. That term was thrown around a lot with regard to poor Charlie Gard in defense of denying him medical treatment. I feel as if one could otherwise argue that it would have been more dignified to try every reasonable method possible to save him even if the prospects looked bleak. The only reason why I bring this up in reference to a debilitating illness is because I can imagine one dying with dignity without euthanasia.

It's good to pray for people who have to make such difficult choice. However, I do believe the Church's perspective is pro-life under all circumstances except in terms of capital punishment, even if Pope Francis says otherwise.
