Ethical issues in the field of medicine permeate modern life and come from real situations that we face. The field continues to evolve as new challenges arise. We will look through a Jewish lens at topics such as abortion (now in a post-Roe vs Wade world), beginning of life (including the issue of post-mortem sperm donation in IDF soldiers), end of life (including Medical Aid in Dying), triage in time of healthcare shortages (e.g. COVID and ventilators), and advances in genetic engineering. New students and those who have previously taken bioethics with me are welcome to take this class, in this ever-changing field.
