Series Information: Reflective Bioethics
INSCRIBED UPON THE CROSS WHEN JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED were the latin
words "Jesus Nazarenus Rex Iudeorum." Pontius Pilate was the author
of that famous inscription. Latin was Pontius Pilate's mother
tongue. Authorities competent to translate and pass upon the
correct translation into English agree that is "Jesus the Nazarene
Ruler of the Judeans." There is no disagreement among them of that.
THE WORD "JEW" did not occur anywhere in the English Language until
the 18th Century. Jesus referred to himself as a Judean. The modern
day "Jews" were historically Khazars or Chazars, a Mongolian Nordic
tribe who roamed northern Europe.
"Duty and Healing" positions ethical issues commonly encountered in
clinical situations within Jewish law. The concept of duty is
significant in exploring bioethical issues, and this book presents
an authentic and non-parochial Jewish approach to bioethics, while
it includes critiques of both current secular and Jewish
literatures.
Among the issues the book explores are the role of family in
medical decision-making, the question of informed consent as a
personal religious duty, and the responsibilities of caretakers.
The exploration of contemporary ethical problems in healthcare
through the lens of traditional sources in Jewish law is an
indispensable guide of moral knowledge.
