Abstract

The topics addressed in this volume range literally from the beginning of life to the end of life. Complex halachic topics, such as niddah. and Shabbos, are analyzed in light of the current practice of medicine. Cutting edge topics, such as stem cell research, concierge medicine, and advances in the understanding of gender-changing operations are presented. There is much rich, new material for the reader's enjoyment and fulfillment. The volume, while continuing the age-old tradition of addressing medical issues from a halachic perspective, will hold a unique place in the library of medical halacha.(from Introduction)
