Bemerkung:

With the awesome strides made by medical science in recent years, the science fiction of yesteryear has become the reality of today. These developments have given rise to a host of fascinating, perplexing and urgent problems. In this second volume of Bioethical Dilemmas, Rabbi Bleich, a preeminent halakhic scholar and ethicist, discusses such questions as cloning, genetic screening, genetic engineering, stem cell research, palliation of pain, hazardous medical procedures, controversy concerning circumcision and medical mal-practice. In these essays Rabbi Bleich explores the principles and concems that enter into a Jewish response to each of these novel issues and demonstrates how Jewish teaching addresses them within the context of a unique and morally coherent value system. Written in a clear and lucid style with copious and insightful notes, this work contains a treasure trove of inf ormation for scholar and general reader alike. - Guter Zustand. PC2-68a 1568714084
