Essays Towards a Jewish Bioethics

Beschreibung

This book is about bioethical dilemmas in a large public children's ward. It goes beyond the usual work in secular bioethics by turning to the classic texts of Jewish thought. The book constructs a discussion between and among several disciplines, clinical medicine, Jewish philosophy, and feminist thought.
