The objective of this book is to combine a factual comprehension of relevant medical and behavioral problems with a Jewish ethical approach to some of the most difficult issues in modern medicine. Thus, many issues of prime importance, i.e. ethics of human experimentation; the attitude to the dying patient; ethical dilemmas in psychiatry; communication between patient, family, physician; and the ethics of reproductive technologies are discussed in depth by outstanding scientists, physicians, rabbis and lawyers, well versed in these matters and leading authorities on these issues.
