Jewish Medical Ethics DeCal
Jewish Medical Ethics DeCal
Interested in medicine, ethics, and the challenges of practicing medicine today? Come learn about medical ethics in a wide range of feilds and subjects, while also getting a perspective from Jewish Law.
We will examine bioethical principles in the Jewish legal tradition, and their relation to the ethics of modern scientific practice. Some of the topics we will cover include circumcision, pain relief, euthanasia, artificial insemination, and abortion. These principles will be taught by doctors, rabbis, and other specialists in a weekly lecture, offering insight into our topics of study. Students are welcomed to ask questions and discuss the topic with the class. No prior knowlege of Judaism or Jewish law is required for the class.
FIRST CLASS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 31. For more info check out: http://www.decal.org/courses/2087
