Medical Ethics
Question
For my halacha class, we had to learn how to ask a rav a question. one of our requirements is that we need to ask an online rav to pasken a case that we made up. Here is my case: Shira is 18 years old and her sister leah is 15 years old. they have been best friends for their whole lives. shira was diagnosed with leukeamia and is desperately in need of a bone marrow transplant. the doctors just founf out that shira is a perfect matchs for leah who needs the transplant within two weeks or she will die. shira really wants to go through with the surgery to save her sister and best friend who will die at such a young age without her help, the only problem is that there is a possibility that shira coud die in the process of saving her sister. shira knows this and still wants to go through with the surgery but she wants to know if she halachicly can go through with it.
