Centuries ago, Eastern European scholar Rabbi Moshe Isserles concluded that when there is a factor present that obstructs the departure of a dying person's soul -- such as the sound of someone chopping wood nearby, or salt that had been placed on the dying person's tongue -- it is permissible to remove the noise or the salt. Removing them would not constitute hastening death, but rather be viewed as removing an impediment to dying. Based on this passage and others, some prominent authorities in the Jewish community have argued that we are forbidden to take any positive action that might unnecessarily delay the death of a dying person.

In this article, we outline the case history starting with the decisions of the Quebec Superior Court and Court of Appeal, explain the questions that the majority and minority asked themselves in the Supreme Court of Canada, and conclude by analyzing that Court's decision and its implications for Jewish spouses and spouses of other religious minorities going through the divorce process. "15 This is also the theory behind Jewish divorce, and in the "vast majority"16 of cases, a get is freely given in accordance with that theory.\n"257 While some may view this as an example of the court unnecessarily interfering in matters of religion, such an approach may be necessary so as not to frustrate existing legislative provisions with respect to removing barriers to religious remarriage.258 As ...
