End of Life Issues – Jewish and Israeli Perceptions and Perspectives

End of Life Issues – Jewish and Israeli Perceptions and Perspectives

 3rd September and 6th September 2015

Rabbi Prof Avraham Steinberg, who is widely considered as a leading authority on Jewish medical ethics, and has an international reputation in the field of biomedical ethics, visited the UK in September and delivered two talks which were promoted for members of the Association on 3rd September in London at Kinloss and on 6th September in Manchester as part of the Shema Programme at Stenecourt.  In these talks he addressed the highly topical (in view of the UK House of Commons debate the same week) and seasonal (in view of Rosh Hashanah) subject of the “Steinberg Law” – “Who shall live and who shall die”.
