Theme:
Ethics
Though it is certain everyone will die, it is far from clear how each person's dying will progress. This presentation explores some of the ethically fraught interventions in dying: withdrawing, palliating, assisting, certifying, cutting and transplanting--and how Judaism has long wrestled with them through the ages.
