Overview

A Jewish ethicist confronts dilemmas engendered by modern science such as cloning and reproductive biotechnology, and the legal obligation to save a human life vs. wanting to die a good death, as well as other matters weighed from a Talmudic perspective: parent-child relations, social welfare, and repentance as moral rehabilitation. Includes a glossary of Hebrew, Aramaic, and Latin terms. Sherwin is a professor of Jewish philosophy and mysticism at Spertus Institute of Jewish Studies in Chicago, IL. Annotation c.
