What is the Jewish legal view on donating one’s body to science? Does Jewish Law permit postmortem procedures? How should the conflicting wishes of the deceased’s family and forensic pathologists be resolved? This session will explore Jewish ethical perspectives on the treatment of the body after death and apply them to the realities of today.
