[Avodah] FW: sakanta/issura

[Rich, Joel]

The Chatam Sofer (Chulin 9b) says that it's pashut why sakanta is different from issura since by issura its hkb"h who made the rules so if he said we can rely on rov it's fine whereas by sakanta even a minority  endangered can't be brought back from the dead.


So:
1. How does this square with strong form of timtum haleiv?
2. How do you explain to amcha the difference between halachic reality and reality reality?
3. Why is spiritual danger treated as less concerning than physical?
4. How do we define sakanah (as in leidat hasafeik?) and who defines it? Is it based on the individual's perception or is it based on the community's? This is a subset of a greater question which I've never gotten my arms around -  when do we set standards based on the individual when we based on the community?(For example, by Yom Kippur the definition of the minimal measurement for drinking is based on the individual but for eating it's an objective standard (Chazal understood inuy was physically different for eating and drinking based on....))
