Jewish Medical Ethics follows a tradition that spans centuries and its impact reaches far beyond the Jewish world. Directives on medical questions are found in all sources of Jewish law from early texts such as the Talmud and Maimonides up to contemporary ethicists’ commentary and rabbinic responsa. Using these texts and principles as precedents, medical professionals will discuss and solve contemporary bioethical dilemmas and employ these principles on a day to day basis in their practices.
