Meidcal studies for a Cohen in the US

הרב המשיב: ישראל בלפר

שאלה:

Under what conditions is it possible for a Cohen to become a doctor in the US, taking into account that he will necessarily be dissecting (probably non-Jewish) corpses? What should a Cohen ideally be careful to do/not do in such a situation? Please keep in mind that while this student is Orthodox, a suggestion that he change his desired path in life will be ignored.

תשובה:

The subject has been discussed extensively in the (Hebrew) publications of the Schlesinger Institute. For an English Responsum, see the answer published in JME : "Studying Medicine for a Cohen" (JME 3:1 p. 52, 1997)
