International Responsa Project (IRP)
When a medical procedure raises ethical or moral questions that seem to contradict halacha, advice from a reliable source is needed. The International Responsa Project provides this service to people all over the world who send the Schlesinger Institute questions - some of a general, theoretical nature and some of a very specific, technical nature - via telephone, e-mail, fax and post. The questions are answered as quickly as possible by one of the rabbi-doctors at the Institute, or, in special cases, by a recognized rabbinical authority.

Famous quotes containing the word project:
“In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.””
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
