Catholic Medical Quarterly Volume 73(2) May 2023
Erratum
In the last issue the cover on the CMQ contained the line “St Joseph:
Gifts of Euthanasia”
This title was an error of word processing for
which we apologise. There are no “gifts of euthanasia” and no link between
Euthanasia and St Joseph who is patron Saint of a good death.
