QUESTIONS FOR THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC BIOETHICS CENTER

August 26, 2024

QUESTION? / COMMENT!

My spouse has diabetes and  has been looking into a new diabetic monitoring device called, Dexcom, that is attached on the arm by a disc with a tiny needle in it.  My question is with all these new types of devices that are being developed that attach to the skin and are monitored through your iPhone to monitor his blood sugar information throughout the day, are these devices approved by the Catholic Church?? This also includes a CPAP device called Aspire that basically uses the same concept. Something is attached to your body and is electronically monitored. I am deeply concerned that these types of devices are considered to be related to the mark of the beast!! And because people are now actually having chips inserted under the skin, I’m very concerned that these devices are also of the same deceitful nature! Please advise if you are familiar with these devices and if they have been approved by the Catholic Church. Thanking you in advance for your assistance in this regard.
