LETTER BOX

Autopsies in Excess?
Reader Makes Charge

Editor, The Jewish News:
The present law in Israel allows
autopsies to be preformed on all
patients without the consent of the
deceased or his family. I refer to
the JTA dispatch of Feb. 4-7 where
this is stated explicitly. There are
many people who refrain from en-
tering a hospital although they are
in critical condition and much in
need of hospitalization out of fear
of being dissected after death.
According to the Hebrew Ency-
clopedia (1966 edition) in the sup-
plement to volumes 1-16 page 432:
"The autopsy rate in Israel is in
excess to 50 per cent and as high
as 80 per cent of patients dying in
hospitals." In the U.S. according to
a letter from the Department of
Health, Education and Welfare,
dated, Washington, Jan. 13, 1967,
the total autopsy rate in the U.S.
is 19.1 per cent.
Certainly, in the name of human
decency, we should not let this un-
democratic practice take place in
our State of Israel which is found-
ed on the principles of democracy.
I urge- all readers to investigate
into this matter and help remove
this mo-al indecency by doing what
we can to allow autopsies only with
consent of the deceased or his 'am-
ity as is the law in other democrat-
ic countries.

Program Director Defends
Toronto 'Y' Opening

Editor, The Jewish News:
I have just had occasion to read
in the Detroit Jewish News of Feb.
16 an article regarding the open-
ing of the Toronto YM and YWHA
on Saturdays.
The program has now been in
operation for three weeks, serving
children from 6 to 11 years on
Saturday afternoons. It can best be
described as a Sabbath Day Camp,
and reflects the desire of the di-
rectors of the Y to provide a rec-
reational and cultural program
for members in an exclusive chil-
d r en's environment. The Y is
closed to all but to the children
registered for the program, for
whom it is open 2-5 p.m. The pro-
gram thus far has featured an
oneg Shabat, with children's clubs
involved in presentations on the
theme "S a bb a t h Around the
World," a film showing of "The
Six-Day War" with speakers, and
a Jewish story hour, in addition
to restricted recreational activi-
ties.
The response to the program
on the part of members has been
overwhelming, resulting in our
closing the waiting list after 600
children had been registered.
As of this date the Y has re-
ceived but one resignation, and has
actually gained in excess of 50 new
members whose families wished
to see them enroll. This is in di-
rect contradiction to the state-
ments made by Rabbi (Moses)
Burak, who stated that many of
the Orthodox members of the "Y"
were turning in their member-
ship cards in protest. It is inter-
esting to note that even the rabbi,
himself, has not done so.
Sincerely,
MARTIN PARK, MSW
Program Director
Toronto YM-YWHA
