R. Moshe Feinstein Following Up on Medical Treatment Decisions (23 Adar Sheni)

שו"ת אג"מ חו"מ ב:עד 23 Adar Sheni 5744 (1984)

R. Moshe Feinstein had ruled that one was not required-- and maybe even not allowed-- to extend the life of someone in constant pain for whom there was no cure.

Feinstein answers this and other issues with when we must or must not medicate or treat.
