New JLI Course "Life in the Balance"
Beginning This Wednesday, October 30th, 7:30pm
Modern medicine has brought us near miracles. It's also brought us some of the most difficult decisions we'll ever have to face. Are we obliged to prolong life even at the cost of terrible suffering? Should we legalize the sale of organs, such as kidneys, to save the lives of transplant patients? May a woman with a multiple-fetus pregnancy opt for fetal reduction, thus forfeiting the lives of some to possibly save others? When it seems that every available option is morally questionable, how do we decide?What kind of action — or inaction — should we take? When should we take it? And when do we edge too close to playing G-d?
This course will prepare you for choices that you or a loved one may be called upon to make. It will fascinate and inform, and for medical professionals it is eligible for CME credits, too! So, sign up today! Click here to register. Course is $99 plus $15 for the textbook.
