Recent advances in biomedical technology and therapeutic procedures have generated a moral crisis in modern medicine. The vast strides made in medical science and technology have created options which, only a few decades earlier, would have been relegated to the realm of science fiction. With the unfolding of new discoveries and techniques, the scientific and intellectual communities have developed a keen awareness of the ethical issues which arise out of man's enhanced ability to control his destiny.
In Contemporary Biomedical Ethical Issues and Jewish Law, Dr. Fred Rosner, a distinguished physician and an expert in medicine and Jewish law, discusses the major ethical issues in 28 areas including: the beginning of life, patient's rights, informed consent, confidentiality, end of life and more.
Written in non-technical language, this volume makes the subject accessible to both the lay and health professional reader.
