The aim of this conference is to analyze those ethical concepts that are dealt with on a day to day basis in light of Jewish sources and Jewish law. Jewish Medical Ethics follows a tradition that spans centuries and its impact reaches far beyond the Jewish world. This alone will provide ample material for discussion with Jewish specialists in the field.
