Overview
Yesterday’s science fiction is today’s reality and standard. In the field of
medicine and health, this is an incredible blessing. At the same time, a
proliferation of ethical quandaries, which we could hardly have imagined
previously, have emerged.
As medicine advances and life expectancy increases, almost all patients will,
at some point, encounter an ethical dilemma in dealing with their own health
or the health of a loved one.
What degree of risk should one take in the pursuit of long-term health?
Are we obliged to do everything in our power to prolong life? What if it comes at the cost of terrible suffering?
Are there circumstances where an abortion is a moral option?
A new four-part series on Jewish medical ethics from The Rohr Jewish
Learning Institute, Decisions of Fate, considers how modern medical
dilemmas can be ethically resolved through thoughtful analysis of
analogous cases that appear in classical Jewish legal literature.
Warm regards, Rabbi Chaim Lipszyc
