Upcoming conference–A Jewish Approach to End-of-Life
Sent to me by Neil Hendershot, PA Elder, Estate, and Fiduciary Law Blog:
“On Sunday, September 14, 2008, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Yeshiva University, in New York City, will conduct a seminar entitled “The Sanctity of Life: A Jewish Approach to End of Life Challenges.”
This is the purpose of the conference: The conference will provide a unique opportunity to interact with rabbis and physicians who are leaders in this area of medical ethics. By enriching our education, raising our awareness, and deepening our sensitivities, the YU Student Medical Ethics Society hopes to promote continued discussion, thus enhancing the community’s ability to deal with these issues in an effective manner that holds true to the highest moral standard. * * *The conference speakers will address the medical, psychological, social, & religious (under Jewish law) issues arising in end-of-life situations…”
