In Jewish Bioethics, Dr. Fred Rosner and Rabbi David Bleich collaborated to bring nine outstanding medical and rabbinic experts in the field of medical science and Jewish Law (Halakhah) together to address many of today's most pressing ethical considerations in light of the advances medical science now presents. These questions include defining the precise moment of death, euthanasia, "test tube" procreation, abortion, sex-change operations, cloning, genetic engineering, medical experiments on human subjects, and more. Judaism demands that, like all other human activities, medical science subordinate itself to the ethical and legal imperatives of the Jewish faith. Jewish Bioethics is a seminal work of painstaking scholarship and an invaluable contribution to today's on-going discussions involving faith, medicine, and ethical standards of decision making.
