Show Notes

In 1979, conjoined twins were born to a Jewish family in the United States. The drama that followed shocked doctors, challenged the leading halachic minds of the time, and ultimately involved the Supreme Court. This talk will give fascinating insight into Judaism’s approach to some of the hot topics of modern day moral dilemmas.
