A daughter's dilemma
The terminally ill father.
The dilemma
According to Jewish law, which of these three options is she allowed to approve? 2. According to Jewish law, is there one that she must approve? 3. Shayna is aware that if multiple options are permissible, the decision must ultimately be hers. However, because she is worried that her own interests and preferences are involved here, she asks the Beit Din for the clearest guidance it can give as to how she should choose among permitted options. What guidance would you give to Shayna?

Why is removing an impediment different from causing the death itself?
A gosses is a person on their death bed.
yes! I think we really should ask this question. The person's whose life is being decided is not only on their death bed, but in relation to the text we must debate whether or not to remove certain impediments from death.
Does our case count as a "הוראת שעה"? If so, is this source implying a categoric exemption for "הוראת שעה"?
The difference here between the sefer chasidim is that while sefer chasidim says one is obligated to remove the impediments to death, sefer chasidim allows one to remove the impediments but does not force one too.
Here is an example taken from the "West wing" show .

Removing an impediment is different because one is letting god take the life
as opposed to to actively taking the life
which is directly taking a life on ones own.
The reason this distinction is important to the case
is because we have to determine
what choices are in line with
removing a burden vs what is actively taking a life.
THE deathbed?
What is the deathbed?
