N.J. Hailed For
New Law

New York (JTA) — New
Jersey this month became
the first state in the country
to incorporate a religious ex-
emption into its statute
defining time of death, as
Gov. James Florio signed
into law a bill setting forth
the rules for determining
when a patient has died and
medical care may be discon-
tinued.
Agudath Israel of
America, which played a key
role in assuring passage of
this religious protection
clause, hailed its inclusion
into New Jersey law. The
exemption represents "a
particularly significant vic-
tory for the cause of religious
freedom," a spokesman for
the organization said.
The new statute estab-
lishes the irreversible cessa-
tion of all brain function as
the uniform standard for de-
termining when life ends,
and in so doing formalizes an
earlier ruling of the State
Supreme Court sanctioning
the brain death criterion.
Where the statute breaks
new ground is in its provi-
sion, drafted largely with
the Orthodox Jewish com-
munity in mind, protecting
patients who object to the
brain death criterion.
While some Orthodox au-
thorities maintain that Jew-
ish law accepts irreversible
cessation of brain function
as a legal basis for determin-
ing death, others insist that
Jewish law defines a person
as living so long as his car-
dio-respiratory system con-
tinues to function.
New Jersey's legislative
exemption was designed to
protect the religious rights
of those who follow the latter
view.
In 1984, at the urging of
Agudath Israel of New
Jersey and other Jewish
groups, then-Gov. Thomas
Kean vetoed a brain death
bill passed by the New
Jersey legislature on the
specific ground that it lacked
a religious exemption. The
bill would have allowed doc-
tors to discontinue treat-
ment of patients who were
brain dead but alive accor-
ding to the laws of their re-
ligion.
Subsequently, in the mid-
1980s, the legislature estab-
lished a state bioethics
commission to study such
issues. Under its first
chairman, Daniel O'Connell,
and executive director Alan
Weisbard, a new bill was
drafted which included a re-
quirement that religious
beliefs be accommodated.
