Dying to Die: Jewish Approaches to Final Interventions with Dr. Jonathan Crane

Sunday, December 11, 2022 • 17 Kislev 5783

7:30 PM - 9:00 PMZoom Event

Many people feel compelled to intervene in someone’s dying, to forestall it, ameliorate its intensity, or perhaps hasten it. Such impulses are not new, of course. Religious traditions have long wrestled with practical and ethical implications of such interventions. This talk surveys Jewish perspectives on many of these features.

JONATHAN K. CRANE, Ph.D., Rabbi, serves as the Raymond F. Schinazi Scholar in Bioethics and Jewish Thought at Emory University’s Center for Ethics. A Professor of Medicine and Director
of the Food Studies and Ethics Initiative, Crane is a past president of the Society of Jewish Ethics, founder and co-editor of the Journal of Jewish Ethics, and author or editor of several books, including Narratives and Jewish Bioethics (2013), The Oxford Handbook of Jewish Ethics and Morality (2013), Beastly Morality: Animals as Ethical Agents (2015), Eating Ethically: Religion and Science for a Better Diet (2018), and Judaism, Race, and Ethics: Conversations and Questions (2020).

Cosponsored with The Haberman Institute.
