AND YOU SHALL LIVE BY THEM: CONTEMPORARY JEWISH APPROACHES TO MEDICAL ETHICS

In this quite readable and highly informative breakthrough, Louis Flancbaum, MD has succeeded in enabling readers of every dimension to understand even the most troubling issues facing us today: dealing with the terminally ill, genetic experimentation, surrogate motherhood, euthanasia, etc. Flancbaum has shown that the various movements within Jewish life have more in common in the field of medical ethics than perhaps in any other area. Built around case studies of the fictional Chollim family, Dr. Flancbaum walks us through the complexities and marvels of both the questions and the Jewish answers to some of our most challenging contemporary problems.
