The 2016 case focused on issues of Jewish medical ethics, the risks one may or may not take in the attempt to prolong life, and end of life care. In the case, a woman named Shayna faces difficult decisions about the medical care for her ailing father, Leib who has Alzheimer’s disease and recently suffered a heart attack.
