JLI presents "SANCTITY IN DEATH Autopsy and Medical Dissection."

Lubavitch Chabad of Northbrook and JLI presents "SANCTITY IN DEATH Autopsy and Medical Dissection." 
Many states allow medical schools to use unclaimed cadavers for
anatomical dissection. Is this ethical? Is it ever moral to perform an autopsy over a family's objections? Would Jewish law allow one to voluntarily donate his or her body to science? This lesson will examine how Jewish law balances the dignity of the dead with the needs of society.3 class options at 2095 Landwehr Rd., Northbrook:
