It’s interesting to learn that Jewish law allows for animal testing over human testing. If all things are created by god in Jewish traditions should they not be treated with the same respect as a creature of god ?#RLST305b

I appreciate the similarities between theJewish and Lutheran traditions on the subject of organ donation because it reinforces the idea to help others and save lives. So few times throughout life do you truly get to help someone in this way. #RLST305b

I think it’s interesting any religion would oppose IVF because most religions support procreation. It’s a woman’s right to have kids regardless of how she goes about the process #RLST305b

Most religions, excluding Christianity and Buddhism, allow for abortion in a given time when it is in the best interest of the mother. Its interesting to note that Judaism has the least strict conditions surrounding abortion, not considering a fetus a person until birth #RLST305b

I feel if a patient is brain dead the best thing for the family and the patient would be to discontinue treatment and allow death to occurs naturally. The toll it takes on the patient and their family to care for someone in that state is often overlooked. #RLST305b

I think this is a relatively gray area between most religions. No religion would want you to remain in suffering or extend the death process, and at the same time PAS could be seen as a type of tampering w gods gift to you (life/body) #RLST305b

I personally feel that the DWDA should be expanded to all states to give patients every option. As long as the patient meets the extensive conditions to be eligible for DWDA, they should be allowed to end their suffering.#RLST305b

I don’t think you should judge people by there worst mistakes. People make mistakes, he served his time and tired to spend the reminder his life aiding others. Maybe in an attempt to make amends for what he done, and I do think it was fair to deny him that chance #RLST305b

#RLST305b I assumed the amount of consent and information shared between doctors and patients was a universal professional standard, but the readings showed each religion taking very differently views on the doctor/patient relationship

[Cameron Dye @CameronDye18]

The shared principle aomng these religions is that your body is a gift from god, and a such it needs to be respected and care for. There’s a sense of responsibility towards caring for your own body, but the religions views in how to care and what’s acceptable differ #RLST305b

Schiavo’s case is similar to many have witnessed during my time as an EMT. Though My experience is limited to short term care with patients, I have frequently found families have a better sense of closure and appreciation for the life their loved one once they let go #RLST305b
