>>In  Holy Name Hospital in Teaneck, the nuns often do things like shave the
people  in a coma. Should we deny both the patient and the nuns this act of

As a strong proponent of austritt, I can say once again  that you don't seem 
to quite understand what austritt entails.  Neither I  nor any Orthodox rabbi, 
not even Rabbiner Hirsch himself, would object to a  Reform rabbi shaving a 
person in a coma.
