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:
“They had their fortunes to make, everything to gain and nothing to lose. They were schooled in and anxious for debates; forcible in argument; reckless and brilliant. For them it was but a short and natural step from swaying juries in courtroom battles over the ownership of land to swaying constituents in contests for office. For the lawyer, oratory was the escalator that could lift a political candidate to higher ground.”
—Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
