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.
