Day 9 - Jewish Medical Ethics

This is such a fascinating area of Jewish thought and law. I'm not a medical person in the slightest but I've listened to Rabbi Dr. Akiva Tatz talk on medical subjects like Triage (the use of limited resources for multiple patients) and have become a lot more interested.

In fact, Rabbi Tatz has a series of lectures on medical ethics that you can find at www.tatz.cc.

What is most fascinating is how Traditional Jewish methods of logic are used to decide on cutting edge technological issues in the medical field.
