No, your statement of the position of the Catholic Church is inaccurate. Catholics are not required to make use of extraordinary medical treatments that carries with them excessive burdens and do not offer a reasonable hope of benefit.

Food and water are basic necessities, and are to be administered unless or until the benefits of food and water are clearly outweighed by an excessive burden, or are useless.

Catholics are required to make use of medical treatment that would preserve life, as well as medical treatment that can cure, improve, or reduce or prevent deterioration of any physical or medical condition.
