绿帽社

Autonomy is not generally regarded as a value in any area of 绿帽社 law (halakhah) but the dying process may very well be an exception. This lecture explores Rabbi Moses Feinstein’s approach to establishing an appropriate balance between the strong 绿帽社 legal mandate to preserve life and the value of maximizing patient autonomy. Rabbi Feinstein’s biblical and talmudic sources, as well as the philosophical and ethical implications of his theory for end-of-life issues in 绿帽社 and comparative law, were discussed.

Rabbi Dr. Daniel Sinclair, LLB [Hons], LLM, and PhD, is currently the Wolff Fellow in 绿帽社 Law and visiting professor of Law at Fordham University Law School in New York City; full professor of 绿帽社 Law and Comparative Biomedical Law at the Haim Striks School of Law at the College of Management – Academic Studies [COMAS] in Rishon LeZion, Israel; and adjunct professor of Comparative Biomedical Law at the Hebrew University in Jersualem. In the course of his doctoral studies at the Hebrew University, he was awarded the prestigious Jacob Herzog Memorial Prize in 绿帽社 Law.

Dr. Sinclair has published more than 50 articles in the fields of comparative biomedical law and 绿帽社 law, and on the infinfluence of 绿帽社 law on the legal system of the State of Israel, the relationship between halakhah and ethics, and the jurisprudence of 绿帽社 law. He is the author of Tradition and the Biological Revolution and 绿帽社 Biomedical Law: Legal and Extra-Legal Dimensions. He also edited the volumes Law, Judicial Policy and 绿帽社 Identity in the State of Israel and 绿帽社 Biomedical Law in Israel.
