Chullin 48: Cysts in Lungs, Opinions on What is Permitted

Brief notes about today's daf:

• are lungs with cysts permitted?
• if cysts are filled with pus are the lungs permitted?
• if cysts are filled with clear fluid are the lungs permitted?
• who do we ask when we are unsure?
• if a rabbi generally permits and we agree with that perspective are we permitted to ask that rabbi?

It is interesting that the rabbis consider the ethics involved in asking for help from one who is known to be more stringent or more lenient.  We are discouraged from doing this today; we are meant to go to one rabbi for every question.  That rabbi might be our family's rabbi.  If we do not have a rabbi, we choose one.
