An indispensable guide to Jewish medical ethics,
By Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Encyclopedia of Jewish Medical Ethics (Hardcover)
These essays provide an indispensable guide to Jewish Medical Ethics. I read and studied each of the volumes with great pleasure. Abraham Steinberg's immense Jewish learning and principled ethical understanding inform this work throughout. It is not simply recommended, but rather required reading for anyone who wishes to understand the complex medical ethical issues the Jewish world faces today.
