How is a Halachic Authority defined?
Which Halachic Authorities have particular expertise in Medical Ethics in Israel /UK ?
What (if any) situations can a do not resuscitate order be applied appropriately within the context of Orthodox Jewish Law
What is the validity of a Halachic Living Will (see interlink foundation uk) within 1)Jewish Law 2)UK Law
Is a Halachic Living Will valid if the patient is physically unable to sign it by reason of disability but there assessed as having capacity
How does Jewish Law assess capacity ?
Sorry to ask many questions but as a physician Ive never had exposure to Jewish Medical Ethics Before
1. Halachic authority is determined by the knowledge, experience, dedication to the halachic process, seniority, and public acceptance, similar to the way medical authority is determined. However, significant differences of opinion between authorities are common in the halachic realm, so that it is not possible to define a single Halachic Authority. For this reason, it is important that a person develop a relationship with a halachic authority who can serve as his personal mentor and guide.
