| Jun 13, 1991 — Whereas many people are using various “living wills” and similar documents to offer guidance to the medical care-providers in the event of serious illness or death Therefore, the rabbinical Council of America, in convention assembled, urges its chaverim to disseminate information such as the RCA Health Care Proxy, allowing the patient to be part of the process of the medical decisions to be made for him or her. Further, we urge that any such decisions or documents utilized include the guidance of a competent Rabbi so as to include Halakhic guidance in these crucial decisions. |
