Recenzje

This excellent new book makes an important contribution to the English-language literature on Jewish medical ethics. ... Daniel Sinclair's book will help us navigate today's challenges, preserving the Jewish moral tradition without enslavement to a mistakenly inflexible interpretation of the halakhah
