Is it a mitzvah to save someone from execution by Beth Din? P.S., I get that the beth din doesn't execute people anymore, but the question and title became very clunky when written in the Past Unreal Conditional. |

What is the Greatest Mitzvah? Wikipedia's "Chevra kadisha" page says, "[...] Tending to a meit mitzvah [mitzvah corpse] overrides virtually any other positive commandment (mitzvat aseh) of Torah law." Any truth to this? |

Animal testing of cosmetics and other products Does "for a purpose" literally mean for any purpose? Even for fun? |

Taharas hamishpacha practices during pregnancy Thanks for this answer. The Wikipedia page is just totally wrong, then, right? No Hasidim actually separate 12 days a month during pregnancy...? |

Taharas hamishpacha practices during pregnancy @ShimonbM, Ariel, It does seem to me more likely that this is the law not because of the possibility of superfetation, but because it takes at least one month to confirm a pregnancy, and longer to be really sure of it. This would have been especially true in the days before pregnancy tests. It would thus make sense for her to continue with the onot for that reason, a fortiori, even if superfetation is indeed possible. |

Colored underwear during seven clean days "Yesterday's spaghetti sauce"--this is the greatest |

Taharas hamishpacha practices during pregnancy Very interesting. It does make sense that a woman would continue to separate for the onot at least for the beginning of pregnancy. The idea of a full 12-day separation in the absence of bleeding seems strange, however. |

Animal testing of cosmetics and other products @Msh210 Oh, I see. Well, I added it to the list at the end; I hope it's clearer now. That is certainly a relevant part of the question. Thanks for the +1. |

Taharas hamishpacha practices during pregnancy Also, I assume she does not go to mikvah at the end of the separations while pregnant (again, assuming there is no bleeding). Or does she? |

Animal testing of cosmetics and other products @msh210 I assume it would be permitted for non-Jews to do. I tried to address whether it would be permissible for Jews to animal-test cosmetics in the beginning of my question: "What are the potential halachic problems for [...] the person conducting such tests (if Jewish)?" |

Animal testing of cosmetics and other products @Ariel That link hardly says what you asserted. It just says that the FDA does not approve cosmetics before they go to market, which would make sense, because that isn't the FDA's job: fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm047470.htm#cosmetics |
