Question
I am a kohen living in a high rise apartment. Many, possibly most people in the building are Jewish, many elderly. I recently learned that an old Jewish lady in the building died. I never knew her personally. I don’t know exactly when she died or if I was at home at the time. But I went to the shiva and heard she died at home. I want to know for future reference, if someone dies in the building and I am aware of it, do I have to leave the building until the corpse is removed?

Question
I live with my middle aged mother. She is mostly able to take care for herself. She has been diagnosed with diabetes and needs twice daily insulin shots. She doesn’t know how to do it herself, at least not yet, but I work in a profession where I know how to give shots. My mother wants me to prick her fingers and give her the insulin shots. I learned many years ago that it is forbidden to make one’s parent bleed, even for medical purposes. How should I deal with this?
